The files suddenly show up in the browser if you do that.

Last night, I deleted all the user accounts and directories, and wiped the mu install, then did a brand new instal, which got rid of a bunch of problems, like rss feeds not working in dashboard, etc., but the image problem still exists. I have a paid tech guy looking at it now. This is what he has told me so far:</p> <blockquote><p>This line in the .htaccess file</p> <p>RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]</p> <p>This reroutes anything requested in a files folder to the blogs.php file which is supposed to output the file.</p> <p>This is why you can't pull up an image file directly.
