The link works for me as 'bob' but not as 'alter ego' , a member. It'll be interesting to find out if it works for ktesla39

Every living thing has no choice but to execute its pre-programmed instructions embedded in it (known as instincts).
But only a human may have the freedom and ability to oppose his natural robotic nature.
But, by opposing it, such a human becomes no more of this world.

The forum moved to a new server in March '21 (I'll call this moment the 'change'). Since then avatar uploads have not been possible. But members with avatars from before the change still have them so the code controlling them in a members profile still works. Just the upload is faulty.
I've searched all the admin options available to me and found nothing to turn this back on. It's odd that Ganesh and I can get to the upload page. Is this because we are admin, or just that we already have avatars?
I'm reluctant to try it for myself in case I lose the one I have. But I can log in on an unused account so I might try an experiment. Also might try making a new admin just so I can test if uploads will work.
Looks like there's some code missing from the new forum but I don't have acccess to that.
LATER EDIT: Promoting a user to admin didn't work. The link led to the upload screen but the file wouldn't upload.
EVEN LATER EDIT: I've tried to change the avatar for a very old member who last posted in 2005 and would be banned today due to the nature of their posts. That member had an avatar. An attempt at using the link gave the usual error message.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: I've taken the risk and tried to change my own avatar. Couldn't upload one. Conclusion: No one can upload at present whatever their status.
