I have spent many hours on this, and have tried all angles. I have imce and fckeditor installed to be able to upload images into the body of text. It worked great on my localhost: I could load pictures into text with the imce editor, the file browser would pop up with a preview for each image I would click on. Clicking on an image would shoot it back into fckeditor, to be resized and would print out great in the node. Once i moved to a live server, my entire site works except for this feature. Now when I try to upload an image into the body of text with fckeditor, i browse on my computer, select the file, upload, and the system TELLS me its uploaded. However at the same time, imce image browser pops up like it is supposed too, but the file i just uploaded is not displayed. Additionally, there are no previews for an image that I click on. When I click on an image or send to fckeditor, no preview is in fckeditors preview box, but a size usually is. When I click ok to return to the body, no image is loaded to resize, move. When i use firebug I see that there is infact code there for the picture and the path is correct, but no image is displayed. Browsing the image folder to see if the file was actually loaded, it is in fact NOT there, so it was never loaded. Weirdly enough when I preview before posting, as I have all posts set to do, the image pops up for literally a split second and then disappears. I would REALLY appreciate some help with this one, it was such a great system when it worked! What am I doing wrong?

imce integration in fckeditor works for me, but not in preview!
Any suggestions?

If its filtered HTML make sure that is an acceptable tag. Home->Administer->Site Configuration then click Configure beside Filtered HTML.
You may say Thanks Capt'n Obvious but I wasted 20 mins on that.

Make sure that img is an acceptable tag*

I am having a similar problem. I'm using Drupal 6, IMCE and FCKeditor modules are updated, and I've checked the file location settings for both IMCE and FCKeditor. I tried removing the Image module, thinking there might be a conflict, but that didn't help.
When I upload an image, it is moved into the folder where it should be. When I use FCKeditor to insert an image I can browse and find the image file where it should be. I confirmed that it exists by checking independently with my FTP program (Filezilla). However, no thumbnail is displayed when I select it in browse, and after I complete the process there is no image displayed -- just a frame in a blue background.
For me there is no split second of seeing the image in preview -- it just doesn't show up at all.
Incidentally, I have the same problem when I tried to use an image with the Image module.
I'm using the Hiroshige theme, and I know my web server company is using a PC server for my website, not Linux.
Other facts: I get the same results when I go to Administer - Site Configuration - Input Formats and make Full HTML the default.
Also, the graphics that are a part of the Hiroshige Theme show up just fine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...

I'm a newbie to Drupal, and I am also facing this issue with images with fckeditor and IMCE. I'd done all the settings mentioned above but couldn't preview image.
Incidentally i saw that there is an .htaccess file generated everytime i upload an image into "files" directory. Now i'm running it with IIS on windows and i guess this .htaccess file has some issues with Drupal (guide me if i'm wrong in my assumption), but as soon as i remove this file from "files" directory where all my images are stored when uploaded, the images started appearing both in preview and in blog.
Still trying to figure out how is this .htaccess file getting generated everytime and how to avoid this. Let me know if this works for you too...
Any suggestions would be appreciated...

I got the solution after working on it for 2 more hours....upload an empty .htaccess file in the upload directory.
I guess this issue will come only when Drupal is hosted on IIS and IIS has some limitations with .htaccess.

Hi rajanluthra
You are a genious - its works after so many weeks :-))
Thanks for the help on this one - and yes it does appear to only be a problem with an IIS server as on a Linus server no probs
Thanks once again

Uncheck BBCode from FCKeditor in buttons and plugins!
