Hi. I’m having what sounds like a similiar problem.
The folks at Thesis suggested I set up the high level directory for uploading post images (to allow for thumbnail generation). I did this and set it’s attributes to 755, and FTP’d an image in there. I then:

* Went to a blog post page
* Clicked the “Add an Image” icon
* Clicked the “From URL” tab
* Entered the URL fetchthemoonmarketing.com/blogpics/3socialwords.jpg (with http://www. in front) into the field “Image URL”
* Clicked the “Insert into Post” button at the bottom of the dialog box

Unfortunately, what happened next was that the little red asterisk to the left of that field turned into a spinning circle (the one that indicates the site is processing something), finally resolving into a big. red X.

What did I do wrong?

Also, if I upload an image (for a page, not a post) direct from the Add an Image icon off my local drive, the image box shows up on the page, but the image is broken and doesn’t display. If I click the “edit image” button, I can SEE the image there. If I look in my directory via FTP, I can see the file there. I can also pick up the link URL which WP set up by default (for ex: fetchthemoonmarketing.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/underconst1.jpg (with http://www. in front). BUT, if I try to then upload the image via URL instead of browsing off my local drive, I get the same bid, red X result as above. WP won’t accept the Link URL.

Can you help?

PS – the only plug-ins I have active are Akismet (which isn’t running because I haven’t purchased a key) and BackupBuddy.
