Installing Drupal

How does the Image Management work for uploading images? After I FTPed my images to a directory on my server, I used the "directory upload: slow" to integrate them into Drupal. All I got was a list of the images. Clicking on one of them takes me to:

http://sitename.com/?q=node/add/image/file/./images/images_subdirectory/...

All that shows up there is a blank screen, with the default Drupal menus. What am I doing wrong?

Function "Remember me" not works on my site. I look cookies and find, what cookie PHPSESSID still sets for end of session, though "remember me" checked.

I found a lot of messages about 'remember me' and cookies on forums, but not find answer for my situation :(

If navigate through pages of drupal.org with "back" and "forward" buttons, then pages are takes from browser cache - no requests to server. But on my site if use browser buttons - pages are not cached and every time goes request to server.

Which options need to setup page caching in .htaccess or php.ini? I'm install Drupal with options in .htaccess by default.

I have a well functioning drupal site at http://peter.karlberg.org (all content in swedish but everything else in english because I havn't finished the translation yet - swedish is now optional for registered users). I do have one problem which relate to the Forum modul. The contributions to the forums (i.e. comments) are not displayed correctly - no linebreaks and they got the following message:

The default installation of the image module automatically creates links to the original image nodes for thumbnails that are inserted into story nodes using the defined image filter syntax. When [image:23,left,5,5,1] inserted in a node, the tumbnail displayed in the story node links to the original image node.

I would love to turn this off and have the thumbnails simply displayed with no link to the original image node.

I have just completed reinstalling DRUPAL on my PC so I can evaluate it before putiing itup 'live'
I am running windows XP with IIS ver 5. and PHP 4.3

When I installed the version 4.2.0 of Online to display on line users I encountered the error as below.

Fatal Error . Illegal function call Im().

Any comment or help would be appreciated.
