Description (last modified by DJPaul)

When uploading a user avatar, BuddyPress creates /uploads/buddypress/ which BuddyPress doesn't use.

Tested on multisite, network-activated.

This happens on a single install too.

Cover images are uploaded there.

So avatars: /uploads/avatars/[ID]
Cover images: /uploads/buddypress/members/[ID]/cover-image

IMO it's better to have avatars moved to /uploads/buddypress/members/[ID]/avatar.

@DJPaul What do you think?

Moving the avatars directory would be problematic for existing installations. You'd either need to check both the old and new location for files or bulk move everything.

@DJPaul It's not a bug, it's used by the cover image feature :)

And i agree with @slaFFik avatars should ideally follow the same folder organization
See ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6570#comment:33 in the "The new BP_Attachment_Cover_Image class & the Cover Image UI" section 2nd paragraph :)

I haven't touched the avatar folder organization to avoid an upgrade routine in 2.4.
