 * hi
    I recently tried to upload an image through the admin panel – using both 
   methods: upload from computer & from url. [admin](http://webtechnologies.me.uk/wp-content/img/uploadtool.gif)
   Ive never had any trouble with it up until now, but am getting the following 
   error:
 * “
    Unable to create directory /content/StartupHostPlus/w/e/webtechnologies.me.
   uk/web/wp-content/uploads/2010/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?“
 * The obvious explanation is folder permissions, however ‘uploads’ directory is
   set to 777?
 * I did finally manage to upload an image to an entirely different directory by
   creating a directory at wp-content/img.
 * has anyone had similar problems with version 3?
 * help.:)
