Groups comment will not post images

I have the ability to post embedded images in groups comments, it lets the user go through the steps of entering url but doesn't post the image or message. Simple text is fine. Is there something else I should be enabling, or permissions on the server folder or something?

or how can i change it back to the normal comments instead of the tynemice thing

You need to give a bit more information because it works fine on my site.  Have you set TinyMCE to strip out the image tag?  What about other areas that use the same TinyMCE init; does adding an image work in those areas?  What addons have you added to the Group module?

well i must have enabled TinyMCE at some point otherwise it would be the same as the comments on the wall, but i have no idea how i would have done that, I doubt I would have set TinyMCE to strip out the images what would be the point of that? I suspect I enabled it originally as a way for groups members to be able to post images without uploading hundreds of pictures to my server.

I have a reactive template insitu. 

Uh? What? Where? LOL

Dolphin out of the box has three different TinyMCE inits.  They are shared across the site.  Two things happens when one has the TinyMCE loaded and someone leaves a comment.  The first thing is that TinyMCE will do a code cleanup and remove any illegal tags as set by the TinyMCE init.  Then it is passed to the HTMLpurifier to strip out any illegal tags.

Now, since the TinyMCE inits are shared; if you are finding that one can not insert the image tag in one place and can insert in another place that is using the same TinyMCE init; then most likely it is not the TinyMCE that is the cause of the problem.
