Whenever I try to upload an avatar, it says it successfully uploaded but does not display any images of the apparently resized avatar, and when I go back to my profile, I just get the default avatar still. When I look in the avatars folder, it didn't create any avatars for my account. (And yes, the images I'm uploading are smaller than the required size of 100 kb, and I have tried different image types).

I have both ImageMagick and PHP GD working, so I don't get why the extension seems unable to generate the avatars upon upload. Is it possible to manually put the avatars for my profile in the avatars folder? (Well, I tried this by using my username_l.gif but didn't make a difference, though I saw in the discussion someone mentioning user IDs?) Alternatively, is it possible to just use the Extension:Avatar in place of the avatar function on this extension?

Two words: file permissions. Roughly 99,99% of the time these kind of issues are caused by file/folder permissions, i.e. the web server user account cannot write into the target directory ($IP/avatars). Triple-check that the permissions are correct and then try again.
