I believe the version is 1.7, I'm sorry...Yes I'm 100% sure the images are stored in the database.As a side note, if I rclick and "save link as" ... I can download the picture, but the only way to view it is with a program called xnview?Also, I do not have a php temp directory set... so it should default to /tmp --- that is 777I assume we mean upload_tmp_dir ?
