Just follow the message instructions: Use your FTP client to change the directory rights to writable by the server user.
Are you using other plugins? The directory down is not used by this plugin (the folder the plugin uses to upload pictures is <uploads>/alkivia/users), and this message is not coded on the plugin. Probably it comes from other plugin.
Any way, follow the instructions and change the write rights on the directory.
Good you’ve solved it. Just remember that this folder is not used by this plugin. Perhaps you have another plugin which uses it…
Hi Txanny
Thanks for your reply .. It looks like something similar is happening still.
When a member tries to upload pics from the Alkivia profile page, they receive a message asking for Username and Password. By hitting cancel, its possible to post the images.
I looked around on the Plug-in options, and don’t see anything related to this.
Is this another plug-in conflict or something with the database? I’m not that knowledgeable with databases, and I’m apprehensive about meddling with the database for fear of breaking the internet 😉
Here’s a screen cap:

The screenshot you’re showing is asking for a server password protected directory. This is not related to plugin and probably will not work.
Plugins and scripts run as the server user (The username the server uses to run the http service). Because of that, it does not mind if the user enters credentials or not, the user credentials are not used, and uploading depends on the server username rights.
If you don’t want some users to upload images, or to moderate them, install some plugin to manage capabilities (like my Capability Manager http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/). Then create the roles and set capabilities according what you want to be done.
You have a description for the plugin capabilities at http://alkivia.org/wordpress/community/capabilities/
