This is something I think people from b2evolution should consider changing.
I created a blog and configured a specific media location but did not created the respective folder physically.
Sudenly, every other blogger was blocked from uploading their images, getting the error message: "The blog's media directory «media/tv_janela/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist".
Should not be reasonable that only the "tv_janela" blogger be advised of the problem when he would eventually try to upload his images?
Thanks for reporting. I've added a TODO about it in the source code.
Currently any error does not display the upload form and "The blog's media directory could not be created" is an error. Maybe it should be a note only.
