[support] Images only show up for administrator

[Seth]

Thanks for the reply Ruslan.  You are correct, it was access control.
I finally figured it out. I was missing the check box for "view
uploaded files" in the "upload module" section of the access control
page.  Everything things to be working now.  I must touched it at some
point during or after the upgrade.

Thanks again!
