I attempted to upgrade my elgg 1.7.1 installation to 1.7.15.

After doing so the siteaccess 2.6 plugin acted erratically. Which I depend on to avoid having to send validation emails (shared server with 4000+ members) and to provide a walled garden site. Since it was NOT working in 1.7.15 I reverted back to my original 1.7.1 installation thinking all would be fine.

After reverting back to 1.7.1 anyone that newly registered had no profile image or icon unless they uploaded it again after they logged in. The images they upload at registration are present in the elgg data folder, so they do upload. After going through ALL the other simular issues like this on elgg.org with no luck I deleted the old profile mod that was originally with my 1.7.1 installation and uploaded the profile mod from 1.7.15 to see if it made any difference. That caused the opposite issue, new users had icons and members that registered before this attempted "upgrade" had none. This is causing users to have to reupload their profile icons again (tidypics & group icons work fine). I have tried this with siteaccess & other plugins on & off and I ran the update scripts.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? At a loss and have tried for 2 days to fix it.

I understand that there were changes in the way elgg handles these images which I assume to be the cause since the 1.7.1 profile plugin has one effect and the 1.7.15 profile has the opposite, I just don't know where to look.

Thank you for any help in advance.
