i also can't upload it does but shows with red X

for me?

when i try to upload pics in the arcade admin it shows white box with red X

If that file is for me, I got an error

safeupload is: 0
tmppath is: /temp
vbProArcade Error: [su0] bad file upload (temporary file does not exist!)

Arcade options updated!

Although this won't really fix the question as to why this is happening, how about adding an option to pull the images off of the webserver instead of from the db?

sHORTYWZ: Try this file. At the very least, it should return a bit more info for us to try and figure out what is going on. The only thing I can think of is that the script is not getting the path to the temp directory correctly.

mewgood: You can try this one as well -- I'd like to see what version of PHP your server is running.

That is probably what I will end up doing... even though it is working for the majority of the people, it looks like with different php versions and server configurations, it will be difficult to get just right.

your php version is: 4.1.0

your php version is: 4.2.2
safeupload is: 0
tmppath is: /temp
vpafile is c:tempphp1F81.tmp
vbProArcade Error: [su0] bad file upload (temporary file does not exist!)

Doesn't look like it's parsing the temp directory correctly..

As far as the other idea, it would reduce queries on the DB as well (not very many, but some people are paranoid)
