Spoke too soon.......
1. When you edit an existing article, and click submit, it creates a new article instead of editing the current one.....
***Solved*** We made a mistake in the code- instead of linking to article_add_cute.tpl it should have been edit_cute.tpl
2. There are several icons missing. when you right click in the editor to insert, cut, or paste, etc.....several of the buttons are missing.
As to the images, I've uploaded all the images several times, but for some reason none of them are showing up.
