Joomla login issues after upgrade to 1.5.23

This problem was found during upgrades of joomla site from version 1.5.x to 1.5.23

It applies to the login modules and its components having major problem in comprofiler that appear when you tried logging in, forgot password or trying to register.

 This problem occurs using Community Builder comprofiler components.

Workaround:

1. Logged in to your joomla administrator website, go to the components menu > community builder > tools
2. Try syncing the users, lots of error will appear as if the users are not sync.
3. Check > Check Community Builder Database and you will see where the error is coming from.
4. You should see problem like this highlighted in red > Avatars and thumbnails folder: /home/folder/public_html/published/images/comprofiler/ is NOT writeable by the webserver.
5. Change the permission to correct the errors in red and then try to resync the users again.
6. Refresh and check the logins and its should go back to normal..
7. Enjoy!

BE WARNED!!!

Default templates will also be replaced, be sure to backup your templates! this happen to me as i used rhuk_milkyway, the logo has been replaced with defaults AND without any warnings….
