 * The upload image feature on all my blogs (1.5 amd 2.0 versions)has stopped working.
   Get message saying cant upload to folder.
 * Have done all the basic checks including the permissions and everything is OK.
   Any thoughts???

 * If it did work, and now it does not, ask your host if they moved anything ?
 * Does it also say this with very small images ?

 * It does it on all images. What could my host move that would cause problem… just
   so I know if they try to BS me???
    Everything else seems to work OK.

 * If you really did nothing, and you really have checked the permissions then there
   is only one other person whoc can have changed things – the host.
 * I wouldn’t say it’s BS – they may see a minor change as something not worth noting.
 * I’d check everything again before asking them though.

 * Found the problem. Went to the Admin > Options > Miscellaneous…. and found that
   the recommended directory was different from the one being used. Made the change
   back, and images now upload.
 * Purchased some software for wordpress that didnt work because of plugin in-compatability
   and the manufacturer had visited my site (I gave permission) to find the plugin
   that was causing the problem. Thats the only explanation I can think of as to
   why it was changed… all OK now.
