Hey guys and gals, first off i just want to say thanks to everyone who contributes to this awesome forum... There's always some excellent stuff to be found in here.

I'll try to make this short. i've got 6.15 installed using the garland theme. I've recently installed the following modules:
image, imagefield, image_assist, jquery_plugin, photos, swfupload, and views.

The issues are:

I cannot upload images to anything except image galleries, though I've configured the taxonomy for all content and selected [x]image for each. When attempting to create an image gallery, I can't get the thumbnails to display with links to original images. A while back I succeeded in uploading images via [browse] button on a page which displayed the thumbnails organized the way I desired. But now, after having made several changes/additions to the site, I logged out and today after logging back in all the changes were gone and the site has defaulted back to the default garland theme, with exception to the color scheme I implemented. Now I cannot for the life of me get the same image gallery I had previously to work.

FYI, I've enabled all the modules and configured the permissions and taxonomy accordingly. Now I'm left with a start-up site, having only maintained my color scheme and logo - all added content and images have disapeared and I'm left having to rebuild my site from scratch. If anyone can please shed some light on why this is happening, I'd greatly appreciate it. If further info is required, don't hesitate to ask and I'll promptly respond.

Thanks in advance to all.
