When I attempt to CHMod the file ./uploads/avatars to 666 it refuses to change, it just changes back to what it was previously, why is this so?

heloo there,
1- Can we please take a look at the error your getting?
2- are u sure ur using linux host ? or windows host?
3- Please make sure you have to chmodthe folders to 777 and the files to 666
4- Note that you also need to chmod uploads to 777 in case u need to upload later
5- are getting the error in the ftp programs or in installing MyBB?.
Best Regards

Are you chmodding through a command line or FTP package? Are you refreshing the file list after you've chmodded a file if using a GUI program?
I know that SmartFTP doesn't refresh after a CHMOD and because of that, if I try to re-chmod a file, it doesn't say it's been changed but it has.

Could be possible that your hosting doesn't allow this?

If you're using a GUI or a command line interface, there should be a 'status' window where you can see the responses from the server about your actions. Maybe it is a good idea to see what they say about it. Examples below:
> SITE CHMOD title.jpg 999
[b]< 550 999: No such file or directory[/b]
> SITE CHMOD 999 titlebg.jpg
[b]< 550 '999': invalid mode.[/b]
> PORT 192,168,1,100,6,42
< 200 PORT command successful
> TYPE A
< 200 Type set to A
> LIST
< 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
< 226 Transfer complete.
