Would it be possible to set it so that uploads are never placed in a path called /ad/ (as they sometimes are at the moment) - I think it's pretty common for software to assume that any such image is an advert and not display it. Certainly Norton Personal Firewall's ad blocking does this...
It's not our fault if Norton PF is that stupid.
No, it's not ... but if it isn't too difficult to change this, then I would welcome it.
It wouldn't be difficult to change it, but it would be an ugly hack. The directory name is the first 2 chars of the md5sum of the name of the image. So it would mean either using a different hashing method, affecting *all* images, or putting special case checks in the code.
