 * Today I woke up and posted a blog article that accompanied a featured image on
   my post and it uploaded fine. I went to run some errands, came back and sat down
   to post another article which also had an accompanying featured image. The difference
   in the two experiences is that my image uploaded fine in the first post however
   I got the lovely error “Missing Temporary Folder” in the second article I posted.
 * I’ve tried all of the typical fixes which were already in place (php.ini with
   the directives to find the tmp folder). That wasn’t the issue. After getting 
   highly frustrated with no support from MediaTemple, I decided to go to another
   location with a different Internet connection. Well what do ya know, the image
   uploaded fine.
 * What in the world could the ISP be blocking to disallow me uploading an image
   a few hours apart from the first post? If someone could enlighten me, that would
   be wonderful.

 * It might me your hosting provider running a few checks. ISP’s do not have blocking
   policies as such (only mandated by intel agencies in movies).
 * It might be that the hosting provider may be suffering from overload or doing
   some upgrades of system hardware/software etc.
