Description
I am uploading an image but still receive this error: "It is required that you upload an image for your image advertisement.". The image successfully uploads and permissions are set correctly. The error does not allow me to create an image ad. Need help.

#1
Can confirm bug, although on my install (drupal 6.14, ad 6.x-2.1), the image is not uploaded.
There is a workaround - not the best as it requires ftp access to the server (in fact its not a workaround at all) :
go to administer/content management/ads/settings/image ad.
in the "general settings" section, tick the "Allow remote hosted images" box and save the form.
ftp to your your site and navigate to somwhere sensible - e.g sites/default/files....
upload the image and make a note of the url
now you can create the advert, in the "remote image path" enter the url of the image
yuck

I believe this is a duplicate, and is now fixed:
