I've having trouble with several different features, and I finally figured out that they all have something in common - bracketed input. The input formats are all set to enable these features, and yet they don't work.

this is the input not working on node submission for img_assist:
[img_assist|fid=2|thumb=1|alt=Tallest bridge|caption=Panorama pic of tallest bridge in the world]

this is the input not working on node submission for adsense:
[adsense:468x60:1:2]

input formats are fine, for example:
filtered html
the following are checked and enabled: adsense tag, html filter, image filter, inline file filter, inline images, inline voting, line break converter, url filter

adsense is the item to enable for the adsense code to work (it actually references that code in the settings), and inline images is the item to enable for img_assist to work.

access control is right, modules are enabled, and input formats appear to be fine. I've turned off all the input settings I referenced above one by one to see if one of them conflicted as well - and nothing works.

please help!! any ideas appreciated...

First, expecting someone to answer this quick is a bit unreasonable. I do remember speaking about this with you earlier and bookmarked it to come back to when I had time. I work a 50 hour work week and go to school on weekends, so the little spare time I do have is often not spent here. Sorry, that's just life, I don't get paid to do this, nor does this help me with my degree.

On to the questions you are asking. First, you can indeed change the order of Drupal input filters.

Several people have faced similar problems. My opinion on the matter is that you will want to create your own input format. Let's call this one Limited HTML and Image Assist. First, you'd have the HTML filter run, that will keep out malicous HTML and limit users to tags such as <em>. Next, you'd want the image assist conversion filter. You don't want this before the HTML because the HTML filter could filter out things that the image assist filter has put in. Now create and entry and for the input format, select the new Limited HTML and Image Assist.

Failing this, maybe there are errors in your log that aren't being printed to the screen. Look there or have PHP configured to display errors to the screen. Alternatively, if you'd like, I'll poke around and take a look.

As I stated in the post, I've turned off all filters completely and turned them on one by one, and it still doesn't work...i.e., I've ran it with only img_assist and nothing else on even - and it doesn't work.

I will check the error log, to enable PHP error to display to the screen I don't know what file to change (.htaccess or otherwise).

Again - appreciate the input, but I know you are not the only one in the forums that could have provided some insight. It's not like this was the first time I posted this issue either.
