I seem to be having an issue with setting my directory. Here's what is happening:

From the Control Panel, under: Profile Settings >> Avatars. I enter the directory path i.e. C:\whatever\whatever\whatever and hit the "click to test directory" link. The message says "Directory exists and is writeable. Test passed."

When I "Update Profile Settings" the screen refreshes and the back slashes stripped from the path leaving me with (C:whateverwhateverwhateverare). When I hit the "click to test directory" link again, it says "Directory does not exist! Test failed. Either the directory was not found or cannot be written to by the web server."

I'm on a Windows NT VPS...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brendan
