  In the admon panel I click "EnvoAvatar" and it comes up with:
  
  "You can't access this file directly..."
  
  
  But I need to get in there and make it so the group "Users" and the group "Moderators" can upload their own avatars. Please help!

  try enabling PASTNUKE in your Admin -=> Settings. There might be a function call ni there that has been deprecated in the core but supported by "legacy module function".

  Hello,
  This is a common problem with "old style" modules and PostNuke .750 (no problem with .760)
  The fix involve to edit your ROOT admin.php file (Warning : not the admin.php file in the EnvoAvatar directory ).
  
  Open the admin.php file at the root level of your PostNuke site and add the lines
  

  Code

  // set a constant so we can check the correct entry point later
     define('LOADED_AS_MODULE','1');

  
  before the lines :
  

  Code

  if (file_exists($file='modules/' . pnVarPrepForOS($module) . '/admin.php')) {
     $ModName = $module;
     include $file;

  
  
  Applying this method will solve the problem for all old style modules without (contrary to other "brute force methods) creating any security hole in your PostNuke site :D

  No,
  I learned programming alone many many years ago (about 30 years ago ...) it's not my job (my job is to teach statistics to french students), just a thing that I enjoy to do. And today with a lot of websites teaching how to code it's a lot easier.
