Topic on Extension talk:Avatar

For a public wiki the avatar image is successfully loaded, for ex. http://wiki.mywiki.org/images/avatars/972/128.png

It seems the Extension:Avatar is not compatible with Image authorization (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_authorization):

  $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/img_auth.php";
  $wgUploadDirectory = '</absolute/path/to/my/doc_root>/../<dir_name_unguessable>';
  $wgEnableUploads = true;

Therefore the avatar image fails with 403 Forbidden, for ex. http://wiki.mywiki.org/img_auth.php/avatars/2/128.png:1

I am noticing this as well.. Will post a solution if I find one
