I wonder if this still is a problem in v1.8. I know there was the tightening up of restrictions regarding access to artefacts.
What sort of image urls are you adding to the description field? Are they like this: http://mahara-testing/artefact/file/download.php?file=79 >From my initial test with 1.8 I can see the image in description if I am the user who added it - but I can't see it if I am another user with access to the page. This is because the description field is not designed to have internal to Mahara artefacts like images added there. Now that Mahara 1.8 has flexible layouts there is probably a greatly reduced need for page descriptions to contain images (or even have descriptions displayed on page at all) as you can have a multiple rows of columns. So you can have a full width row for row one before getting to the various other rows/columns. What might be needed instead is to have the ability for an image or textbox to have no header bar on page view allowing them to mimic what the description field does currently but in a better way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Any other images, such as those inserted as an image block and those inserted inline within a text box, appear without issue. I have tested this in our installation of Mahara (1.4.2) and the demo.mahara.org version. The screen capture is taken from when I tested the demo.mahara.org version. In our version we get identical results, where the Page Description image disappears. Addendum: if the images are hosted externally, e.g. at Flickr, they actually do appear in the Page Description area! It might take a few seconds for the image to load, though.
