Stop ignoring and skipping over the advice given, especially that by Charlie. Examine the html code to see what it is doing, and go from there
Charlie said:
"I would start with examining the HTML which is resulting in the non-displayed images".
Edit: Years ago in my more novice days, a vaguely similar sort of issue was experienced with other web app(s) where some content would display & some would not. IIRC it ended up being wrong permission & ownership on files, in conjunction with using https to access the site, so maybe you have a similar issue and may have copied or loaded content onto the site that is not truly accessible via http or https due to rights. Whether that is your issue or not is something to be determined, and looking at the code will steer you in the right direction.

I did have people from wordpress forum look a my site, and they determined that it is a server configuration issue. You can see the conversation here:

I did try changing permissions, to test I even changed all the files and folders to 777, without success. I did not try changing the ownership, I will see if that helps.

Well you are accepting that the wordpress people's answer is absolute, and it seems you are not wanting to look at the code as Charlie has suggested.
Actually ownership is more likely the issue I had long ago ie making the files truly web accessible, including files you upload, although there was some issue with https access that I can not recall at present.
Just another thought, there may be issues with permissions and ownership of folders that you upload files to, but we could go on and on guessing & suggesting. Finding out why by looking at the code is a way to work it all out.
While I'm sure I have read your earlier posts & the wiki user page I don't specifically remember what was said or done.
Have you been able to duplicate the whole install & setup process on another server and find that you still have the same issues ?
Has anyone else independent of you been able to duplicate the whole setup & issue on their server ?

I'm just trying to help and suggesting anything.
This from your discussion page:
Download latest version from www.wordpress.org to your computer and unzip it. Upload unzipped wordpress to desired ibay/html
Do you unzip on a Windows PC and then copy to the ibay via samba/network sharing ?
I would be more inclined to download a wordpress.tar.gz file and untar that directly on the server after cd'ing to the correct ibay folder, all using the command line interface.
Use an appropriate tar command to untar eg something like
tar xvzf wordpress-2.3.1.tgz
so that inappropriate permsissions or ownership are not introduced by Windows copying etc.

In the wordpress forum thread you say this:
"Strangest thing, I did some changes to the server and eventually I got the images to show, but only sometimes. For a while I could not figure out why it showed up only sometimes, but eventually it turns out that:
when I connect to my site:
http://
no images
but when I connect:
https://
I see images"
So are you saying that whenever you access using https the images show up each and every time without fail, and conversely whenever you access using http that the images never show up (for the same given example/situation/domain we are referring to)?
A quickie workaround (pending further resolution of the real issue) is just to create an alias to redirect http to https so that all users will automatically use https.
See http://wiki.contribs.org/Https_redirection
That is similar/same as how it is done for webmail etc.
