One thing I want to point out... You must understand, if the feed itself does not show images while viewing it within a browser, then there is no way it will import images into your pligg site. Try looking at the feed through firefox and IE 7, you should be able to view the images along with the content. If you do not see any images, then this is why they aren't showing up when you import them. It's because the feed itself doesn't contain images. If you do see the images, then double check these things:

A. make sure <img> is in the html allowed for submission. (admin >> configure >> submit)
B. make sure to edit your rss.php file and change the lines as noted below:

change lines 117-119:

Code:
		$description = $link->link_summary;
		$description = strip_tags($description);
		$description = htmlspecialchars($description);
to this:

Code:
		$description = $link->link_summary;
		//$description = strip_tags($description);
		//$description = htmlspecialchars($description);
C. Change the number of characters allowed in the summary to a higher number -- like maybe 3000 characters. (admin >> configure >> summary and find "Content truncate")

If after doing all the above and it still doesn't work, then you can try doing this option as a last resort:

1. sign up for a feedburner account.
2. burn the feed you are trying to import into your pligg site.
3. click on optimize in your feed settings at feedburner and select Content-Type Burner.
4. Select application/xml as the content type and click activate.
5. Grab the feed directly from feedburner and import that feed instead into pligg.

By doing the above steps, it should work. The feedburner feed will always work because it cleans up the feed nicely and is extremely Pligg Friendly. For example, trying to import an RSS Feed directly from eBay looks like garbage and won't show images at all UNLESS you burn it through feedburner first, and then import the feedburner version into pligg.

If it still doesn't work, then it's possible that you modified another php file that is conflicting with your rss import. Try uninstalling the rss import module, remove it from your server, upload the module to your server again and reactivate it. If after all this and it still doesn't work, then sorry my friend, I'm all out of answers for you. It should definitely work after doing all the above.
