I'm pretty sure your host has disabled file uploads. The reason why the uploader just refreshes the screen is because the server pretends it didn't receive a picture.
The only thing you can do is keep trying to contact your hosting company and ask if your server supports file uploads.
The Java applets send data differently than the web browser does, so that's why the applets work.
That's a little odd.... I mean, file upload work on my forums just fine. I sent an e-mail anyway, though I doubt I'll get a reply.
Is there any alternative to uploading avatars?

I updated the file: edit_avatar_1.4.3x.zip
I don't think this is a permissions issue. It looks more like the server is simply throwing away the uploaded images. If this new script doesn't print anything, then we're kind of stuck.
Images upload just fine using the "Upload" feature (not "Draw")?
Well, they were. Now I get: "An error occured while uploading. Try again. Use your browser button to go back. "
I could upload with "Upload" before, but not now. I tried going back to the older version of edit_avatar.php, and that didn't make a difference, so I just reuploaded the new file you just gave me. I tried contacting my host to see if they changed anything on their server (though I don't think they did), buuuut no reply as usual.
It seems we've reached a dead end here... I'm not sure why it's doing this, nor do I know what caused the "Upload" instead of "Draw" to stop working.

Alright, so I filled in the spot for my local path to the avatar folder
You mean you edited the "edit_avatar.php" file before you uploaded it? No, no... leave that blank. That's a hack I added for people who have multiple boards installed across subdomains.
Just upload the file directly to the server without changing it. Otherwise, it won't work the way it's supposed to.
Alright, did that. Still nothing. Just the same refreshing of edit_avatar.php.
...should I change everything to 777 and try that?

Sorry for the wait. I finally put some extra diagnostics in the avatar uploader.
Avatar test script (1.4.3 only)
When dealing with upload issues, this can sometimes be a trial-and-error process. When you try to upload an avatar, it will give a step-by-step printout of what's going on. If there's any steps missing, we'll narrow down the issues from there. I do find it strange that pictures will upload but not avatars. I'm thinking there's some kind of permissions issue here.

Okay, if you log in as the owner and go into the Diagnostics section, at the bottom the folder permissions are listed. The one for the avatars folder shows up as "OK", right?
I'm going to have to make a custom editor for you to try out, so we can tell whether the server is even accepting the images. I have to get something else done for Tuesday, so it may take a couple days.
Yep, it shows up as "OK". Take your time; I'm very thankful for your help. I'll keep checking back for your next post. :>
