I wasnt quite sure where to post this but here goes.
I am having a problem with uploading images. im not sure if this is a problem with drupal core or the template im using (bizcommunications theme from themesnap.com). i have tried contacting themesnap.com support but they have not responded.
every time i try to upload an image (using the CMS, not an ftp client) the filename gets changed.
for example: the image im uploading is 039.jpg
every time i remove and re-upload the image, drupal changes the filename to 039_0.jpg or 039_1.jpg, etc. higher number is assigned with each subsequent upload.
also the images are being uploaded to sites/default/files instead of sites/default/files/styles/(one of 5)folders/public
this is causing the images to not display as they are being referenced from /public when the actual file is in /files
how can i fix this?

If you look in the Drupal
If you look in the Drupal files, (under sites, files I think)' you'll see that Drupal is storing the file every time you upload it - removing the file doesn't get rid of the file. I'm not sure why Drupal works this way. If you remove the image files that are in ther and start again, you should just get 039.jpg
i have tried contacting themesnap.com support but they have not
This is not true. I guess you didn't buy this theme on themesnap.com and their support refused to help you.
