I'm implementing DNN for my users, and I ran into the issue where users cannot update their avatar.  The image is uploaded to the associated gallery and appears on the settings page, but after clicking 'Update', the database column is not filled.  To fix this, first find the ASPX file for user settings at this path:

Website\DesktopModules\Forum\Forum_UserSettings.ascx

Now open the file in a text editor and find this control:

<asp:textbox id="txtAvatar" runat="server" cssclass="Forum_NormalTextBox" ReadOnly="true" Width="250px">

Make the following change and save the file:

<asp:textbox id="txtAvatar" runat="server" cssclass="Forum_NormalTextBox" ReadOnly="false" Width="250px">

I think that the ReadOnly attribute is causing the framework to ignore client-side changes to the field.  The administrator avatar field may need a similar change; I haven't really looked at that.

y01nk is right, I owe you thanks for providing a fix. As I am in the middle of overhauling this I honestly didn't feel like looking into it for this version. Not too many people have been offering up fixes for this module, so I welcome this change. Just letting you know its appreciated.
