 * I have a fresh install of WordPress 3.0. According to the URL below, 3.0 has 
   a Featured Image feature built in. I do not see the Set as Feature Image or Use
   as Feature Image in wp-admin under posts… does this feature need to be enabled
   somehow?

 * it’s not listed in the menu under posts, you have to be actually in the create
   new post/page screen. When you are on the post/page editor, it’s on the right
   towards the bottom

 * I see it now. My problem was that I didn’t have a theme activated that supported
   the feature. Thanks!

 * WordPress “featured image” , “from URL” doesn’t work with Avisio theme. Please
   help?
 * I’ve installed the Avisio theme on several different websites and on different
   servers. For EACH site, under “slider entries” the “featured image” , “from URL”
   doesn’t work.
 * For example, after I enter the URL of the image (for example “picture.jpg”), 
   the icon on the left should usually change to a green checkmark or a red “x”.
   For me, it does NEITHER: it just has this circle that keeps spinning around and
   around and never stops.
 * I’ve tried images hosted from many different servers too.
 * I have other themes on other websites using slider entries and can posts images
   from URL no problem.
