I just downloaded mybb1603 and extracted the files. I used FileZilla to transfer the files to my GoDaddy account and did the requirements check. I got the following errors;

File Uploads Directory Writable: Not Writable
Avatar Uploads Directory Writable: Not Writable

I changed to config.php and all the settings needed to 777, I even reuploaded the files and got the same errors.

I don't know what to do, can someone please help.

Additional info;

I use GoDaddy for hosting and have the Linux economy plan.
Make sure ./uploads and ./uploads/avatars are CHMOD 777
chmod ./uploads/ to 777
chmod ./uploads/avatars/ 777

chmod those two folders to fix the issue, you have not chmodded them..!
Yes, I did that already.
Have you clicked the Recheck button after doing so??
I don't think so, where is that?
On the page with the requirements check, there should be a button to recheck if the files are writable.
Yes, I did that multiple times, it said the same thing.
delete the uploads folder and re-upload it again and redo the cache for both uploads then uploads/avatars, it makes no sense that the chmod for those folders would not be accepted while the chmod for the other files and folders was accepted.
