Thanks, Josh and Dave...
I used /home/virtual/site93/fst/var/www/html/ubbthreads/userimages
I don't know who gave me this pahth but the adjacent test to the entry field worked.
Dave I had to change your proposal slightly to:
home/virtual/panfluteforum.org/var/www/html/ubbthreads/userimages
And the test on the config page worked.
==========================================================
But now I logged into the forum as a new user and went into the "Edit profile..." section to place the 80x80 avatar
1.99KB . Then with submit it comes an error message :"Pictures can be no larger than 70KB bytes."
This doen't make sense since the avatar is barely 2k jpg.
To make it easier I attached 2 screen shots:
Part of "Edit Config Settings" and "Theme Settings.."
