This is not a bug, it’s a wrong setup of your wordpress!
If you enter an invidual folder for uploads, you also have to enter the full URL to your customized folder in the field below.

Happy debugging…

db: Yeah. It might. I’m willing to do whatever at this point.

Perhaps I should write a quick addendum to the post.

This isn’t a problem I’ve had. And, in checking the photo gallery, everything seems to be ok except for the thumb of Gary V. But the image is there when you click the link and it looks like it’s in the right place.

I did know a few people to have some weirdness with their wp-admin. I suggested they re-upload the wp-admin directory from the 2.6 install and it cleared up their problems. Might be worth a shot?

Chris: Thanks for the tip, but I tried it and it still doesn’t work. Odd.

I had this problem too. I just went to Settings > Misc then made sure the folder was correct (in my case, /wp-images/, in your case /wp-content/uploads/mobile/) then clicked update. It seemed to work for me. Even if it still says your folder is correctly identified, click update just to re-save it.
