I dont know any reason for this to happen but what happens is when I try to put
a picture in DW I make the placeholder and click the folder icon and get my pic
( all in a common folder) and when I preview it the picture does not show up.
the weird part is I have other pictures on that smae page that work, and the
pic that im trying to put there is on the same page as the rest I have tryed
putting a different pic and making a new page just to see if I was doing
something worng. Im not sure if this is a bug in the update but if any one has
any ideas please post them! thanks.

<img src="/site.jpg" alt="a" width="100" height="100"></body>
</html>
this is that extra page I made to try and see if I was doing something worng
as you can see the code basic.
when I take a image that works and copy and past it works
if I use a URL of another site it works
but if I (insert image) or Insert placholder then click the floder icon choose
the image it does NOT show up...

There's the culprit - it's your path. Note that there is a forward slash before
the image. That means that it's site-root relatve. Remove the entire image and
then click the folder icon again to start from scratch. Before you do anything,
look at the bottom of that dialogue box and you'll not that there is a little
drop down menu which says something like "Relative to" and it'll say "Site
Root". Change that to say "Document" and you'll be golden. Then browse for your
image again and all will be well!

You inadvertantly hit that feature at some point (it happens all the time, but
now you'll know next time an image doesn't show up ;) and it's sticky. Now
you've changed it back to document, it'll stick to that.
