I am able to upload images and it says they are attached to the nodes, but I don't see them, just a link.

I have given permissions to the users to upload and view images, the files are in the /var/www/web8/web/sites/default/files/images folder, and if I browse to them at the server itself, they show up as images.
I installed using the acquia bundled set of drupal plus modules. I actually installed once before picking and choosing modules and had the same problem.
These are the modules I have activated that seem to have anything to do with images.
