Deprecated - Media and document management

All I want is to let my friends easily add their images to my website while being able to control max size and dimentions. I read about "upload module", "image module", "image assist module", "drupalimage pluging" and "lightbox module". I don't quite get it.. why all of those aren't integrated into one easy to configure module? Anyway I am lost. Please help!

Hi,

I am working on a site that needs not only collaborative writing, but should also support sketching. As for the writing part, Drupal has really everything I need, I could not find anything for the drawing.

Is there a way I can prevent an image from appearing as a thumbnail? I want it to appear full size with a cut line underneath it.

here's a quick patch to flickrstickr.module that causes it to use curl if available, and fail back to fopen as a last resort. I needed this to get this module working on Dreamhost.com because they don't allow fopen($url)

So, I've been in the community for drupal a while now, but there is one
thing I can not figure out. That is to make browsing categories/taxonomy
where easy.

Say I have tea, coffee and beer as main taxonomy containers. Within tea,
you have chinese tea, japanese tea, english tea and spanish tea...right..
And there are hundreds of tea-sorts from china.
How can I make an easy browsing at my frontpage to that certain chinese
tea? Could I do this ajaxfied maybe(a drop-down box kinda solution)?

You are allowed to customize the size of a user's profile image, but both teasers and nodes depend on those same image dimensions. I want my teaser and node user images (avatars) to be smaller than the profile image.

Is there an easy way to achieve this? I like a large profile pic, but it wrecks the layout on teasers. Thanks in advance for any hints or recommendations.
