In reply to: Powweb Images Won’t LoadAlthough this question is flagged as resolved, I think it might be helpful if I share my own experience concerning this.
I’m running some WordPress installations on Powweb, and quite surprisingly i was confronted with this problem about a week ago. Never happened before. After surfing around on WordPress, I decided that it must be a server problem, and beyond myself to solve, so I gave Powweb support a detailed report. After a day they had solved it. Apparently it was about some setting in the PHP.ini-file. It should be interesting to know exactly what, but I suspect it is about the default PHP tmp directory.

In reply to: Disappearing Rich Visual EditorSure this seems to be browser related. I have exactly the same problem when using FireFox 2. But IE6 works fine.
I’ve only noticed it in WP 2.1.1 and later. I’ve checked with the default theme, and the problem persists. It’s beyond me to analyze the reason.
This is like some glitch in the WordPress Core, so I really hope that the problem is addressed by the Worpress team!

In reply to: The loop and attached picturesFurther investigation
I would have preferred to re-edit my original question, but for the moment I don’t know how to do that. So I make my question a little bit more precise instead.
My theory, posted as a first reply, says that the problem is WordPress adds a serial number to the picture title, if there are several pictures with the same title. Now, that is not really the case. What happens is that WordPress creates a post name = the picture title. If there is more than one post with the same title, then WordPress adds the serial number to the post name of the pictures following number one. If I use mysqladmin to set the post names of the following pictures to the post title too (every picture with the same post title get the same post name), then all the pictures will be recognized by the WordPress loop as belonging to the same post, and so all the pictures will be showed in the attachement. Wich is exactly what I want.
It is akward to have to go to mysqladmin to adjust the post names. I would prefer a workaround to the hassle with the post name, so that allways when I upload a picture, the post name will be identical to the post title, regardless of if there are more pictures with this title.
I hope that my question is clear an comprehensivie, and that somwhere out there in this must generous community somebody will look at it and provide me with some hint on how to have it this way 🙂

In reply to: The loop and attached picturesHere is my theory:
In the older version of upload, if you assigned the same title to several pictures, all of them really was uploaded with the identical title. And thus considered belonging to be part of the same loop.
The new upload seems to consider it your misstake if you assign the same title to several pictures. So it helpfully ad a serial number to the title, if there are several pictures with the same title. Alas, then they are forever separated and can only be accessed by the complete title, including the serial number.
So a neat and efficient feature is this way destroyed.
In spite of this, I would be extremely grateful, if some experienced WordPress user have some idea on a workaround.

In reply to: Changing Permalink StructureYes, alrescha is right. When I changed the permalink structure, access to old stuff was lost. Not only to old pages, but also the cathegory links in the blog where made useless.
As for the .htaccess file, its persmissions was 644. And its content did change when I changed the permalink structure. Btw, these changes where still in place after I changed the structure back to normal.
I don’t pretend to understand .htaccess that well, but it doesn’t seem to me that it is an issue in this case. However, once the links where created, I couldn’t change the structure without loosing access to old pages and to the blog archive. In other words, perhaps you have to stick to your original choice of permalink structure, once you have started create links on your site.
If this is a proper assumption, then perhaps a warning about it on the option/permalink page should be a good idea.
