   When doing a fresh install of 2.9, for some reason the setting for the uploads folder is not set correctly (actually it's not set at all). Dashboard->Settings->Miscellaneous->Store uploads in this folder
   For some reason the default is not there, it's blank! Anybody know if this has been fixed in 2.9.1???

   If that field is blank the uploads will default to wp-content/uploads. Not sure anything has changed with that in 2.9 or 2.9.1 so pretty sure that is not a bug.

   When calling upload_path it returns empty. I had to manually set wp-content/uploads. I'm not the only person having this problem either.

   Just installed 2.9.1 and didn't have a problem adding an image to a post. It did put the image in wp-contents/uploads.

   Noticed that includes/functions.php has this:
   

   $upload_path = get_option( 'upload_path' );
   $upload_path = trim($upload_path);
   if ( empty($upload_path) ) {
   $dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads';

   Weird. Check out all the problems ppl have been having with 2.9 and this plugin. I haven't tried 2.9.1 yet.

   The problem only happens with WP 2.9 and we've narrowed the problem down to get_option('upload_path'); returns nothing. After manually setting it to wp-content/uploads in the WP Misc. settings it works just fine.

   The install seems to create that option with a blank value so don't know if that's intentional or not.

   At this point it's an easy fix, I just can't figure out why when it's blank it's not defaulting back to wp-content/uploads.
