Images inserted with WYSIWYG not appearing
I'm building a new site and have been trying to create pages with inline images. When I code manually, images appear as they should. But when I place an image within text using one of the WYSIWYG editors (I've tried both TinyMCE & FCKeditor, in combination with both IMCE and ImageAssist), the image disappears when I save the page.
Likewise, if I open a page through WYSIWYG that I previously coded manually with an image in it, the image disappears when I resave. Sometimes (seemingly when I use TinyMCE) I end up with something like the following in the published page:
This is a description of the Graphics --> Images folder of our New Project Directory.[img]/modules/wysiwyg/plugins/break/images/spacer.gif[/img]
[img]http://INTERNALURL/sites/default/files/graphicsnpd.gif[/img]Images* 3D-Model: sketchup models
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check that the input format is Filtered HTML and that you have the Inline Images filter enabled for 'Filtered HTML in your 'Input formats' configuration.

Thanks so much Pete - perhaps
Thanks so much Pete - perhaps that's my problem. I don't have an Inline Images filter included in my list under Filtered HTML. In order, my filters currently read:
URL Filter
HTML Filter
Line Break Filter
HTML Corrector
Is there a way to add a filter manually? Thanks again!

The filter is part of the img_assist module; if you enable Image Assist, the filter will appear.
See INSTALL.txt in the img_assist module folder.

Sorry to seem like a newbie... still not finding the option to enable the filter. When I install the Image Assist package, I can enable the following modules:
Image Attach
Image Gallery
Image Import
Image Magick Advanced Options
I've got the first three enabled & configured. Image Magick requires a file copied on our server to which I don't currently have access. I don't have the option to enable a module specifically titled "Image Assist" though.
Thanks again for the help - much obliged.
(Also sidenote - is there a way to subscribe to a thread so that I receive an e-mail when there's a new post? Feels like one of those days where I'm missing things I should be seeing easily.)

If I go to configure my input formats (see http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/sites/all/files/Screenshot-25.png) and click on configure for Filtered HTML, the filter appears in the list - see http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/sites/all/files/Screenshot-24.png
Does this help?

Thanks so much again Pete... sorry for the slow response (vacation!).
Your screenshots showed me exactly what I expected to see in my setup, but am not. Here are screenshots of what I've been seeing. As you'll see between the first two captures, what goes into the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE 3.2.5) and what is published is not at all as expected.

So in addition to the change in formatting it's also not handling the inline image correctly (the original source of the conversation). Related to the images & trying to find the "Inline images" checkbox within the Input Filters, I have the following image-related Modules installed and enabled:
Image
Image Attach
Image Gallery
Image Import
IMCE
IMCE Mkdir
IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge
Wysiwyg
With the WYSIWYG editor disabled, I can get images to stick on the pages I create by manually coding HTML, but I can't & don't expect my end users to go that route. I also tried making a copy of the "Filtered HTML" input filter and disabling all of the filtering rules for it, but that didn't work either.
So I know there has to be something simple I'm missing, which is frustrating me to no end.
Very much appreciate your (and/or anybody else's) assistance! Also - I still haven't found it, but is there a way for me to subscribe to this thread so that I receive a notification when something new is posted?

It all makes sense now; you've got the Image module enabled but not the Image Assist module - look at http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/sites/all/files/ScreenshotModules.png and you'll see what I mean.
I had to go to the Wysiwyg config (see http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/sites/all/files/ScreenshotWysiwyg.png) to configure TinyMCE and enable the Image Assist button - see http://mongolia.charityrallies.org/sites/all/files/ScreenshotTinyMCE.png

Thanks yet again Pete - I'm convinced at this point that there is an underlying issue with the way Drupal is interpreting the output generated by the WYSIWYG editor. Everything with Image Assist now looks the way you have suggested I set things up, but I'm still having issues with that. Moreover, any formatting I attempt to do with the WYSIWYG editor is wiped out when I preview or save (as in the screen captures I posted earlier in the thread).
I'm going to start a new thread that is more specific to the WYSIWYG issue and hopefully once that's resolved, the image insertion issue will clear up as well. I very much appreciate all of your help and think that when the general issue is fixed, all of your suggestions will prove to be very helpful.
-D
BTW...
By the way Pete - meant so say, I dig your site! Very cool!

Thanks!
