Attempting to move avatars to file system
 

In order to help optimize my server, I'm attempting to move my avatars, user profile photos and sig images to a file instead of using the database.

Problem is, I keep getting database errors when doing this regardless if I set the process to 300 or 1.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Here's the latest error:
Invalid SQL:
UPDATE customprofilepic SET
filesize = 20169
WHERE userid = 1376;
