[wp-testers] uploading jpgs to end of file

[Administrator]

Ok I opened up the permissions on the server all the way and up the entire 
directory tree from the wordpress dir all the way down to the 
content/uploads/2010/06.  That's where it's supposed to be going also opened 
up 05 dir just in case.  No changes failed to write to disc, from attaching 
to a post and attachment failure when trying to upload straight to the Media 
Library via Add New.  The problem has got to be in the wp code somewhere.  I 
even tried unchecking the setting bar that says to organize these things by 
month.  That doesn't help either.  I've backed up all my code so the only 
other thing I can try to do is install RC1 again and see if I can find where 
the program broke.
