MSSQL v 8.02

-------------------------

I get this error when attempting to upload an avatar:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'

Permission denied

/bbs/forum/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 93

hence, i changed teh variable FolderName to the name of teh folder i created in the forum directory.

The error suggests that you don't have modify permissions enabled on the upload directory for the FSO object to be able to create a 'temp' directory.

Is that something I can take care of myself or do I need to talk to the hosting provider?

Permissions need to be set by the server admin, so your host will need to set the correct permissions.

Try also creating a folder called 'Temp' in the upload folder directory, so the forum doesn't have to create one.
