Photopost change in picture nameing conventions

I just noticed that since we previously ran I think v3.X of PP and now using v7, I no longer see the picture file names that were given that immediately identified the owner of the picture by the user# id.
For example.
A path and file name used to be:

http://www.website.com/photopost/data/825/6483blowout.jpg

6483 being the user id#
I could easily search my hard drive backup or even server with all photos beginning with 6483*jpg and know who all those photos belonged to.

Now I am noticing with ll the new uploads the past few weeks since we reopened the site with PPv7, the file names are named exactly as the user named it with no user id attached as a prefix so the admins can determine who it belongs to.

Now I see something like this

http://www.website.com/photopost/data/959/IMG_2262_no_text.jpg

Am I missing something? are there separate directories on the server specifically for just each user?

Is there an option in PP that we didnt click yes to have the files include the user id in the name?

Thanks for your help
