Help with Avatar - Thumbnail saved at wrong path
Firstly, let me confess I am somewhat new to Drupal but not new to a CMS. Learning Drupal via this ebook has been very good. I can imagine the challenge of keeping it up-to-date with the numerous modules used, and each new release could look entirely different. My 2 thumbs up to the author.
I have a small problem with section 4.3.3 in the book and I think I must have missed something but can't figure it out after 4 days. So I hope somebody can help.
The part where a default avatar appears when the user doesn't attach a photo is working. But when the user attaches a photo, it doesn't appear, i.e. blank (not default avatar).
After much trial and error, I finally realize the thumbnail wasn't saved in the correct folder. The correct folder was ..\sites\default\files\imagecache\Thumb but the thumbnail was being saved at ..\sites\default\files\imagefield_thumbs.
How do I correct this?
Needless to say, I am using the latest of Drupal (6.15) and all the latest modules (e.g. content_profile-6.x-1.0-beta4, ctools-6.x-1.2,views-6.x-2.8).
Hope to hear from somebody.

That's actually correct I think. Perhaps you should check the permissions of the images are they readable? 755?
