  What version of the module are you using?
  Version6 has been working flawlessly for me so far.
  Also, if you've had a previous install of UserPictures you'll need to remove the leftover tables in the database first before installing the new version. (learned from having to do that myself )

  same as you, version 0.6 and its my first install
  
  i asked my ISP and he said the following

  but imagemagick with PHP with shell_exec is not safe so it's not supported, you can use gd...same result
  

  
  
  im guessing gd is not supported at the moment, wonder if there are any plans to support it

  What does your isp have to do with where you host your website?
  And it says right in the system requirements:
  
  - The programm "convert" from ImageMagick has to be installed
  
  - the gd library has to be installed and PHP has to compiled
  with this library
  
  So that would mean that gd is supported.

  I call my host my ISP.
  
  I'm no expert but with other galleries I thought it was use GD or ImageMagik. You say this one requires both but wont work with one ?

  You need GD installed AND the ImageMagick tool convert.
  
  convert hast to be calles via shell_exec and so having this command available is a neccesarry requirement for pnuserpictures.

  Thanks for the info.
  
  I'm surprised with the choice of dependency on such a security risk, especially knowing its to valued to Postnukers. I'm about 98% other modules do the same graphic convertions but using GD or at least something secure.
  
  Isnt it dangerous to allow use of shell_exec ? Finally, thanks for the great module and furthermore suite of modules. I understand the dependencies required now to use this module. Just don't understand the decision to use ImageMagik or much info about it or if GD can be used to convert a thumbnail or something.

  Hmm - I just can say that the commands that are executed via pnUserPictures should not really be a risk problem.
  If someone has the interest to write a program that converts GIF to JPG without needing the convert program to be executed - your help is really welcome!
  I'm sorry but I do not have the time to write this myself because of to much work load and to less time in real live
