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>&nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/files/ur1/images/red-williams-pears.jpg&quot; class=&quot;framert&quot; alt=&quot;red pears&quot;&gt;
<br><br><a href="http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/1">http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com/node/1</a> contains:<br>&lt;img src=&quot;/files/ur1/images/1-basil.jpg&quot; class=&quot;framert&quot; alt=&quot;fresh basil&quot;&gt;
<br><br>The first image is visible, the second shows the alt text or a missing icon depending on the browser. I can&#39;t figure out what&#39;s different. I did not change any settings in the image module, and resetting to defaults just in case didn&#39;t do anything. 
<br>
<br>In addition, when I tried to use the &quot;image import&quot; 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>&gt; are the answer to that, either. I might try one of the gallery<br>&gt; mods. I&#39;ve only used the gallery that comes with image.<br><br>I&#39;m using it with 5.2... I used it with 4.5 or 4.7 and uploaded some<br>
hundreds of images with no problem.<br>Yep... the upload part is hard to fine tune (permissions? quota?<br>taxonomy?)<br>So your main problem was uploads and erratic behaviour, is it?<br><br>&gt; So it seems like the module has a reputation for being buggy, and
<br>&gt; is going wrong for me in more than one way, so I&#39;m interested in<br>&gt; alternatives. I&#39;d prefer that they don&#39;t require custome theming,<br>&gt; though, because I haven&#39;t gotten into that yet.<br>
<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 &quot;messages&quot;.
<br>I&#39;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
<br>have &quot;less&quot; freedom.<br><br>Just first impression... actually I was interested in your opinion to<br>standarize/invest in one module to build up galleries.<br><br>--<br>Ivan Sergio Borgonovo<br><a href="http://www.webthatworks.it">
