File Transfer 403 error

We're updated to version 3.0.4. But when members now try to transfer photos in 1-to-1 chat (we don't use the chat rooms), they get a "403 forbidden" message.

The uploads folder is 777 permissions. Is there something I've missed?

My v3.0.4 installation allows one-to-one file transfers just fine. Just curious, do these one-to-one transfer failures happen with mobile-to-mobile, or mobile-to-desktop, or desktop-to-desktop transfers? Or with all of them? And is your server running suPHP by chance? If your answer to my last question is yes, It may be a file system permissions issue. If so, chmod'ing all files to 644 and all directories to 755 may fix things.

I second this.
