I have people blogging and using image assist to insert URLs into Blog postings. Images near the beginnings of blog postings appear on the website with a relative URL to the image location... (starting with /)... This breaks when viewed as an RSS feed. When the RSS is generated and used elsewhere, broken images result.

How can I make img assist generate Absolute URLs?

I'm not sure that this really is a duplicate of the situation described in the URL above.
Is it true then, that there isn't a way to fix this until the bug is dealt with?

Just to be clear about the problem, you can see it here.

Here is the blog with image that is working ok: http://interactive.wxxi.org/blog/6
Here is the RSS feed with broken images: http://interactive.wxxi.org/blog/6/feed

If you look at the source of the RSS feed, images listed do not include absolute URLs. So if the feed images are broken if you try to view it anywhere other than directly off of the interactive.wxxi.org server.

Is it really a duplicate?

I un"duplicate"d my support request because the other thread didn't seem to address my situation... If your certain that this is a bug and will be fixed soon... feel free to re-"duplicate" me. Sorry for the annoyance. :)

Contents in RSS feeds are just a "copy" of their "real" representation. Because of that, this is a duplicate issue.
