Post installation

I have created a custom node that I want my users to fill out, so I thought there was a way to make this a part of the registration process but haven't found a way... unless....

I'm trying to get the image_assist module to work. I've uploaded it and activated the module, and it works to upload an image, set it's attributes, etc... But when I get to the actual preview/post of the image, all I see is the following code:

[img_assist|nid=10|title=imagefour|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=60|height=14]

Any clue how I can get Drupal to interpret these images and display the html?

I would like to change a username, but then I get the message that that is not allowed and I should contact the website administrator. But that is me, I am the first account in my Drupal version. Shouldnt I be allowd to do that or what?

On my site i have made a number of content types all of which have location information attached to them - what i would like to do is on the main page for each country (which lists a few basic fields and general information) is to provide a view that is placed in a block at the bottom of the page that lists 5 of the most recent pages of 3 other content pages that have the same country location as the current page they are viewing, and to insert this location into the view query.

So if you were looking at the Iran page you would see:
|------------------------------------|
| Page |
| (location - iran) |
| |-----------------------------| |
| | | |
| | top section of fields | |
| | | |
| |_________________________| |
| |-----------------------------| |
| | | |
| | view - uses page location | |
| | and prints out teaser list | |
| | of pages of X type that | |
| | have that location | |
| |_________________________| |
|_______________________________|

I can set this up as a page by page block by exporting the view and changing the country selected - but there must be an easier way than having 190+ blocks and views.

Hi I have the newest version of drupal after fully upgrading from the older versions, I think the new version acts alot better. I am trying to set up a page in a catergory I have.

This is an image to help me explain the problem

on the image with the numbers is what I have done and trying to do:

1 = catergories > computers then hardware (this is where I want to place my page first)

2 = all my catergories under catergories.

I have a viewing option that I have enabled so comments appear to be flat, ordered by date of posting. This is the view I want, but, the comments are really still a tree. The fact that they are still a tree creates two problems
