I've just posted a pic again and despite having the temp folder in the path in the image properties window, when posted it does now keep the pic in the right place.
 
Thanks for your help Borg.

It automatically puts in the / in front of the folder name, so you need to put in 'uploads' only, placing / in front or using a non sub folder will course issues like you mention.

The default is 'uploads' and you should leave it at that.

Future versions will have the ability to change the upload folder path removed to prevent these issues.

If I put "uploads" in the upload admin screen it automatically puts the / in front in the Image Properties screen.
 
If I put /uploads in the admin screen it lists it as //uploads in the image properties screen.

The directory structure now reads (in the image properties popup window) - /uploads
 
My forum is installed into the following directory stucture... www.balearic-jobs.com/asp/mb and the upload folder is here www.balearic-jobs.com/asp/mb/uploads
 
Unfortunetly the result is the same; uploads/temp/20060906_063252_MaudeFlanders1.jpg
 
Strangely it would seem avatar uploading is working with no problems.
 
Sigh... I appreciate your efforts Borg.

The problem here looks like you are using a folder above the forums root using ../ this can course issues like you mention especially in IE which will re-write the path to the image, because of this the forums code doesn't know what to detect to update the path as IE will alter the path to a setting that is unique to every forum.

If you use a sub folder of the forum for the upload folder without any ../ it should solve the issue

I've tried that already unfortunetly, same problem
 
../uploads/temp/20060906_033945_MaudeFlanders1.jpg
 
^ Link looks the same no matter if you use / or \ in the Image and File Upload Config screen in the admin panel
 
The problem is the same if I use Persits AspUpload, Dundas or aspSmartUpload (the only three I have available)
 
I'm at a loss. Do you have any theroys or further options I can follow up on?  It's frustrating as I have always used image upload without any problems and its a very popular feature of my forums, so I'm worried the removal of it will effect the popularity of my site.

Try using the original sub directory from the folder and enter

upload

with no / or \ as I believe that it is to many \ or / that is coursing the issue.

Hi Borg, thank you for your suggestions
 
I have tried the following. I deleted the upload directory and recreated it, no effect. I changed the / to \ and no effect. I created a directory located in the same folder as my forum (so it did not require / or \) and used a different name and still no effect on the problem. It just isn't get rid of the temp directory. Confused
 
I would be happy to give you FTP and administrative access to the forum if it would assist you in finding the problem.
 
I appreciate your help.
