ISSUE SUMMARY: For some reason many photos are not accessible to members regardless of member type, user group or privacy settings. New latest JomSocial install, and may profile avatars and cover photos are not accessible by any users including admin. There is a small locked icon nect to the images that give an error when clicked on "You are not allowed to access this section.". I have played with every possible setting and set everything to public at one point, yet nothing works. Photo settings in privacy set to public still doesnt do anything. I have changed every setting possible in jomsosical to try to combat this. i have even set all users to same registered group in joomla with no success.
