1/ You need to check your settings in the following places

a) admin > app settings > files
b) admin > blog > user ( &group) permissions (view "wide")

2/ No :p but I believe he's in the middle of writting a new one ;)

Blame it on the Soccer, the Bike Race, or the Tennis

But I'm stumped

I'm the only USER, I am ADMIN
I now get

* The user's media directory «media/users/john/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.
* The blog's media directory «media/blogs/a/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.
* You don't have access to any root directory.

The folder are at 755

and in Users I am set at Level 10 ??

Ack I run a windoze box so I don't have 755's or 644's or whatevers, but I do know that when it created my folders it muttered something about creating them with 777 (sound's like the devils daughter to me 8|)

777 is the answer
They came default at 755

I'll be getting a tutorial for skin upgrading out fairly soon, and it'll go from 0.9.2 to 1.8 so you might want to hold off a couple of days and settle for one of the canned skins. If you're in a hurry you can do the steps to make your skin be 1.6 style, then there are only a couple of new changes. Well, maybe half a dozen or so.

Damn I better get the doc done.

Thanks EdB, look forward to it
