In ver 7 when a new user uploaded files a new directory uploads/user_name was created and their files were placed there. Now files are going into the uploads folder (user folder not being created). Shouldn't each user get their own folder?

We migrated to new host at about the same time as the update from v7 to v8 so could be something to do with that but I'm not sure.

The username folder thing was only used in version 7 so that the admin could use FTP to try a workout which uploads were no longer needed and delete them, which is not a very good system.

Version 8 doesn't need this as uploaded file names are stored in a field in the database with the post, so when the post is deleted the uploaded files are also deleted.
