I have read through the information about this many times and I am still having a problem. 
First... Do I need to create a directory on my server for uploaded attachments and one for uploaded avatars?  And if that is the case where do I need to put them..  In what directory or folder?

You should already have an "attachments" directory.


Come to that, you should have an "avatars" one, too.


By default, uploaded avatars go in the "attachments" directory (Odd though that surely is).

I suspected that, but I don't seem to be able to find that so that I can get the path to it correct so that uploads will work.  I have not changed the default location that appeared in the Admin controls.  But I have tried to upload an avatar and get This message...
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

But I can't check that if I can't find the directory.

That's seriously odd.


If you send me your FTP login details, I can take a look, if you like.


Please read this, first, though.
