I've bene looking into this and it could be an issue with the file upload path you enter in the admin area with / or \ in it. Try experimenting with the upload path and see if that fixes if. If you find that it is a / or \ which is coursing the problem please let me know.
Also could you tell me what the upload path you have at present in the admin area?

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. 
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.

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.

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.

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

The directory structure now reads (in the image properties popup window) - /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.

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.
