CKEditor + IMCE file uploader. What am I missing?
Depending on what version of Drupal you're using, my first inclination is to say the Media module is what you're missing.

That aside, there are a number of steps to take to configure the WYSIWYG image experience.


How did you install CKEditor? Did you install the WYSIWYG module and the CKEditor library properly?
Did you install the correct version of CKEditor? I think you might need the 3.6 version.
Have you set up the correct input format? Does your user have permissions to use it?
Have you set up a CKEditor profile with the correct image insert buttons that integrate with IMCE?


Those are the main things that come to mind, though knowing more about what happens (i.e., when you disable rich text, does anything display in the editing window?) and what steps you've already taken would help narrow it down.
