It have been a pain for me to upload images and deal with tons of WYSIWYG editors... After many trials in this post I recompiled my experiences and the best method that I have found so far. If you have any suggestion I'm willing to hear it, too.
1. Install and enable the following modules:
http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor (disable the WYSIWYG module if you have it install it)
http://drupal.org/project/imce -or- http://drupal.org/project/elfinder
- optional -
