These are the problems I'm having with images on one site: the images, thumbnails, and previews are in the files/images directory. They are in a gallery, but in the gallery view it shows all the info, but does not show the actual image at any size. The individual image node view is the same. When I inserted the images into other page nodes, some appear and some don't, but I can't see any difference between them.
<br><br><a href="http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/2">http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/2</a> contains:<br> <img src="/files/ur1/images/red-williams-pears.jpg" class="framert" alt="red pears">
<br><br><a href="http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/1">http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/1</a> contains:<br><img src="/files/ur1/images/1-basil.jpg" class="framert" alt="fresh basil">
<br><br>The first image is visible, the second shows the alt text or a missing icon depending on the browser. I can't figure out what's different. I did not change any settings in the image module, and resetting to defaults just in case didn't do anything.
<br>
<br>In addition, when I tried to use the "image import" feature, it made duplicate copies of the thumbnail and preview and put them back in the original directory where it was importing _from_. <br><br>Any ideas?

<br>Well my problem was css were scattered in gallery2, block, gallery<br>etc... and having something that look good in drupal *and* in gallery<br>as a stand alone app was not that fun + some repetition not perfect<br>integration in "messages".
<br>I'm not saying that it was terribly hard or impossible... just it was<br>boring and I think hard to maintain.<br><br>My concern is that while I find positive Image module looks like a<br>page node... maybe it looks like a page node too much, users should
