With the help of the forum I was pointed to the right solution.... i.e. reinstalling.
If I may be so bold ....
The function "uploading avatar" is quite important. If for such an important function a bug is removed, a new release number would have been helpful. Having the "newest version" of CB installed didn't help, because it was an earlier version of the newest release... :dry:
Thanks for the posts folks! I had this issue myself which I was really wondering what was wrong. I did a search on Google and stumbled upon this thread. I re-instaled CB 1.9 and suddenly the problem went away!
Problem still existed in recent 1.9 download. Indeed the solution is this:
1. Open "components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcore/cb.core.php"
2. Search for "filesize' and find/change this line:
NOW if ( filesize( $value ) * 1024 > $maxSize ) {
CHANGE if ( filesize( $value ) * 1024 > $maxSize*1024 ) {
