I'd like to change my avatar picture, but when I try to upload the new one from my 'edit account' tab, I get an error:

File copy failed.
Failed to upload the picture image; the avatars directory doesn't exist.

Can anyone on here have a look and see what's causing this?

Thanks!

Happened to me too.

You have to delete your current image before uploading the new one.

Correct. Delete and upload.

I don't know what is causing this to happen, seems like permissions, but they seem to be ok. Still working on it...

Ah! OK

Thanks. I was scared to delete the old one in case I couldn't get a new one. Update coming up!

I had this problem a month

I had this problem a month or two ago... Ivan had to fix it manually for me (thanks again, Ivan!) I think there might actually be an issue with Drupal, because I too have been getting these sorts of errors (either directory not found errors or directory not editable, etc.) on Drupal installs that I manage. Why the error would only show up *now* is beyond me, though.
