Suggestion number 1:

Whenever I attach an image to a post, it always appears at the end of the message. Sometimes I wish it appeared at the top instead.
I know I can use the [image] code instead, but that requires that I upload the image somewhere first, making the process rather slow.

Suggestion number 2:

When I use the upload feature and then that message is used in my web's front page, using ssi, the image never appears. (I know I could use the [image] code instead again, but it's much slower).

Cheers.

to no. 1

if you upload a picture there is a button somewhere where it say add into post. place your cursor where you want to have that picture and then press add into post...

Edit: This only works in IPB 2.X.X
