If you go (using the Interchange Admin):
* Content->[pick index.html]
* make a change to content
* press OK
 it should probably show:
  Name: index.html
  Source: pages/index.html
     Changed ui_body_text   (this shows in green)
* press Publish 

Things should be live now. If it doesn't show, you could see if perhaps disk 
caching is causing you to see the previous file?

Perhaps also a caching problem? 

You could see if there is anything in your errorlog:
Administration->Info->Location of Error Logs 

(this link does not work on demo.icdevgroup.org so hopefully it does work in 
your site, if not let me know)

Items->[pick a sku]->Images 

Should show 'thumb' where you can upload a thumbnail. But how/what exactly 
are you doing to link to thumbnail files?

Up to you :) A lot of questions are answered before on this mailinglist and 
various hints are given on solving 1 and 2 ... Perhaps not very easy to find 
those that's true. 

Try a different piece of software, find other problems ... And also here 
Murpy's theories will apply that your problem is never the problem of others 
:) 

CU,
