 * Is there some way I can specify a different upload folder for all attachments,
   other than the standard wordpress media folder?
 * I’ve been looking everywhere for a solution!

 * I’m still looking, really not getting anywhere. Any help would be massively appreciated
   as I’m running out of time to go live with this site, and once of the core features
   will be users downloading attachments from a specific folder (I’m using S2Member
   and need to secure the forum attachments in a pre-defined folder)

 * I still don’t have a solution to this.
 * Whereabouts in the plugin code does it define the media folder as the upload 
   destination? I can’t seem to see it to be able to change it
 * Please please help! I’m so desperate now!!

 * Plugin uses WordPress media library, so images are uploaded where in uploads 
   folder, or wherever media library is set to do it.

 * Thanks Milan. I know this, but I wanted to define a different upload folder.
 * In the end I had to hire a programmer to change this for me.
 * I don’t know if I’m the only one who would want this, but the ability to define
   the uploads folder in the plugin admin would be massively useful for future releases
