 I searched through the tickets and didn't find any uploader bugs that were
 similar to mine, but I apologize if this is a duplicate.

 I have 2.5.1 installed on a standard shared web hosting package at Network
 Solutions. I can upload images, but after they have uploaded, I cannot see
 any thumbnails, and if I insert the image into a post, it generates a
 broken link.

 I have WordPress installed in the root of my website, and the upload
 folder is standard(wp-content/uploads), but when I FTP into my site, no
 files have been added in that directory.

 The files are being uploaded, but they are in wp-admin/wp-content/uploads.
 No matter what I do, or how I edit my upload path, the files are uploaded
 somewhere in my wp-admin directory.

 Searching through the WordPress support forums, I have found several other
 people who are also having this problem with the uploader

 I followed all of Otto42's suggestions in a sticky post in the forum, and
 nothing seems to affect the results I am having.

 I have posted in greater detail about this problem on the WordPress forum:
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/180107

 If I can provide more details about this bug to anyone, I would be happy
 to do so.
