About two weeks ago I installed ImageCache Profiles successfully and everything seem to be working correctly.
Then I updated my:
drupal site to 6.12
filefield module to 6.x-3.x-dev
ImageCache 6.x-2.0-beta9
Now all profile images show as links and are displayed as "users's picture"
I have emptied & disabled performance/cache
Site Settings:
File system path: sites/default/files
Temporary directory: /tmp
Download method: Public - files are available using HTTP directly.
If I disable the imageCache Profile module, my images are shown at original size, and profile image upload is possible.
If I re-enable the ImageCache Profile module, profile image seems to be allowed, but the image never shows.
It seems to me that there is a conflict as to where the profile images are being stored.
Hopefully this will give some insight to what is happening to me:
actual profile picture / module disabled:
mysite.com/drupal/sites/default/files/pictures/picture-16.jpg
"broken link" to picture / module enabled:
mysite.com/drupal/sites/default/files/imagecache/user_image_large/pictures/picture-16.jpg
(there does still seem to be images in the sites/default/files/imagecache/user_image_large/pictures/ folder)
But they are no longer displaying.
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know what else to do. Thank you for your time.

It has been a while since I posted this, but I am still having this problem and I haven't gotten a response. I am curious if I am posting my problem in the wrong place or if I did not give enough information to receive some help? This situation I am in is starting to stress me out a little. I have been working on my website for months and now I feel as if I have hit a brick wall with this problem. Is there someone out there that can help me please? Pretty please?

I have spent about 30 hours reading through all sorts of posts and finally came across a post referring to public vs private images. I never messed with that, so I didn't think it would be the problem. I set it to private and viola! The profile photos magically appeared. However, now all the other images I have uploaded on my site are broken links.
What a lame situation I am still in.
Any ideas?

Just tested this locally and got it working fine. The resulting profile image, i.e., is located at http://example.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/user_image_large/pictu.... Some suggestions (sorry if you've already tried all these - but sometimes its the 'easy' ones which gets overlooked):
- Did you try to flush the imagecache cache for the 'user_image_large' preset?
- Tried creating a new preset and configure the module to use this new preset instead?
- You say the images are present in the imagecache resized directory - anything wrong with the directory permissions?
- If you copy the whole image src URL into the location of your browser - nothing happens?

Have the exact same problem. I am using version 6.x-1.0
@rajaito - my /sites/default/files/imagecache folder is set to 0755 - is this as yours?
Could it be related somehow to Content Profile module which I am using?

Solved - I forgot to enable the graphic library! I am using the default GD2.

Is this still an issue?

@#6 - not for me.

suppose it fixed, re-open if problem still here

FYI - I believe I had this same issue. Flushing the ImageCache preset at /admin/build/imagecache didn't fix the issue but running 'Flush all caches' from the admin menu (/admin_menu/flush-cache) did fix it. I'm not sure which cache needed clearing, but the 'Flush all caches' menu item clears Administration menu, Cache tables, Menu, Page Requisites, and Theme registry. Next time I see this issue I'll try to figure out which cache specifically was needing to be cleared.
Also, I believe this may be happening after migrating from the development to production server or vice versa. I'll post more here if that is the case.

Original issue was caused by using private files, so suppose this is an issue for imagecache not this module!
I dont ever used private files so if you still have troubles - feel free to re-open this issue!
