 * Recently upgraded to 2.8 and am now unable to use uploader to add images to posts.
   Getting error “missing a temporary folder” after upload. Worked fine till I upgraded,
   need a fix asap since I photoblog and this pretty much kills it. Thank you in
   advance for any help you may be able to give.

 * I added the first few lines to my .htaccess, so this is what I ended up with.
   And it works great
 * <IfModule mod_security.c>
    <Files async-upload.php> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST
   Off </Files> </IfModule> # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
