I can explain the problem. When you start a new thread or even a blank reply, you need to activate the cursor in the editor to give the editor focus, then click on the link for your pictures.

If you just hit the new thread or reply button and then the pic link after the page loads, the editor never has focus so the insert is being done in the document root, which is the page itself.

Note to TheGeek...

I'm sure the answer is in the smilie code. If you take and make a reply, click in the title box and then click on a smilie, focus is returned to the editor and the smilie is inserted in the first character position. That should for your hack too.
