I turned on the Audit Trail and after restarting the module a message came up to see errorlog for more information but no indication of where the errorlog is located.
OK, I found it and here is the pertinent part of the errorlog:

Not seeing anything here to help me find the āImage not foundā
The image not being found is called āNo Imageā. Is this an old module you are trying to update?

Thanks, Brent. I opened the build file and was able to find the counter with the problem and fix it. The phrase āNo Imageā was what was throwing me. I thought it meant it couldnāt find the image. 
Thanks again.

Just keeping you on your toes:)
And you arenāt going mad, There was a bug fixed back in 3.5.2 that could cause the Image name in a piece to be replaced by ā(No Image)ā. So there may be more than a few modules with references to ā(No Image)ā.
At least I know where to look now. 
Two followup questions:
- when a message such as the following appears in the chat window, would it be possible for VASSAL to give the path information for the errorlog file? They are not easy to find if you only need to view them once in a while.
Bad Data in Module: Source: Ethiopian1stHSa.gif Error: Image not found. See the errorlog for more details.
- The above is the message I received after turning on Audit Trails. Before doing so the message looked like this:
Bad Data in Module: Source: Ethiopian1stHSa.gif Error: Image not found. Turn on the Audit Trail preference to generate more details in the errorlog.
So, I turned on Audit Trail and re-ran VASL to generate the same errors, got the first message and then opened the errorlog file. Here is what I got:

This is not really providing more information. Is there some other errorlog I should be looking at or is this just something you havenāt fully implemented yet?
Thanks.
If it helps, thereās a wiki entry devoted solely to this very frequently-asked questionāincluding a method to open them from within the app without having to know the path and dig through your file system to get there: Error Logs
That message does seem to be a bit circular. I donāt think there is any additional file or error log to check, thereās only the one. Did you already confirm that the module or extension in question is missing the referenced images? That seems like the most straightforward explanation.

Yes, missing extension. Deliberately, I was coding something and wanted to ensure this error was handled by my code.

Audit trails do provide (a lot) more information for some errors; there just isnāt any more information to provide for a missing image (what else do you want it to tell you?).

Sorry that you misunderstood my question. I donāt want it to tell me anything. I got a message that said āturn on audit trails to get more info.ā I turned on audit trails. I got no more info. I was pointing out that discrepancy.
@JoelCFC25 gave me a perfectly reasonable reply which I appreciated.
