Hello there!
Well, the thing is that after I´ve upgraded my drupal 5 site to 6, all profile images have been turnes to "default" image. I mean, every single profile has the default image instead the one that people have uploaded.
If I edit a profile and add an image, it uploads and shows up ok, but the old images won´t appear.
I´ve triple checked the user settings: my pictures folder has this route: /sites/default/files/images/pictures

So I´ve put /images/pictures in "Subdirectory in the directory sites/default/files/ where pictures will be stored".

But won´t work.
I´ve searched the forums, and the few questions that I´ve found answered didn´t worked for me...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Rosamunda

D5 the files directory was stored in the drupal root.

Have you checked the database to see if the paths of previously uploaded user images are still pointing to the "old" files directory location?

Oops! I haven´t...! In fact I didn´t thought of that! I mean, I thought that changing the path from settings would magically sove the issue... :)
Now that I come to think of it, I think if should... I mean, that´s the upgrade for, isn´t it? Should I check and change by hand each database entry? OMG!

It's possible that a query can be run on the database changes all them at one time provided the issue is what I believe it to be.

I, however cannot write the query, UPDATE where something or other

I understand. Thanks for the clue :) Maybe I can change that from the database.
The thing that bothers me is... I don´pt know what´s going on here...
I mean...
1. was this a known bug,
2. a special thingie that appeared form nowhere and nobody has really a clue about this
I mean, this cannot be the normal behaviour...

I actually wonder how many D5 upgrades moved the files folder. I'd bet very few.
