No. I have it hardcoded for now, mostly for security. I really wouldn't like the idea of being able to get out of the little uploads area that's designated for it.

I guess there could be an option to change the dir, but I'd almost be afriad to do as it may comprimise someone if they don't set it up correctly.

It is possible to change the root upload directory for the complete, though. It can be found in config.php. But as Wishy said, consider security and make sure that the upload directory is set such that no other parts of the site can be reached.
