Gee, I went to post on my newly upgraded blog and for some reason the add image fuction was not working. I went to check the permission settings on my uploads folder, think maybe my host changed it because of all the problems. Come to find out, I found all the stuff every one was talking about! AARGGHH. lol

Sneaky, the blg looked all right and seemed all right.

Here is a very prime example why you shouldn't have anything permissioned to 777. Remember some one not long ago saying to set theme's to 777. If mine was I would have stuff in there as well. I was dumb enough to have/leave my uploads to 777 and thats the only place I found the garbage.

People don't have anything set to 777! Doesn't take any longer to edit theme's in a web editor either.
