Let me know if that doesn't fix the problem.  There's no reliable way to test if an image is broken or not before making the thumbnail, so some extra error correction might have to be added to the board.

Sorry, I didn't explain that right.  I do understand that some images are scaled. What happened in this case was that no image was showing at all. Just a pic number in brackets [pic#2240]. One image was  10.2 kb (which I assume should have been scaled), and the other was 40.9 kb. Should I still use the modified version file to fix?


edit:
I went ahead and uploaded the fix as it happened again. Hopefully it will be ok now.

Thumbnails are primarily used to reduce bandwidth.  If the image in question doesn't use a lot of bandwidth, a thumbnail won't be made.  Most of the time this is not a problem, but when using the uniformity thumbnail mode, some images will look a little crummy.  Web browsers still do a really crappy job of scaling images.

Until web browsers get their act together and use proper filtering, you can use this modified version of paintsave which will always make a thumbnail.  I suppose I should add a hack to fix this, or add a clause so uniformity mode will always make thumbnails.

SORRY, one more glitchy thing happening here. Twice I've had instances where the thumbnail image was not created. So I manually created them, naming them with the t####.jpg format and they shows up fine. It just happened the second time, - there are no errors recorded in my log.  My server upgraded MySQL from 4.1 to 5 on Monday and are probably still working out kinks, although they have moved on and are upgrading the rest of their servers, a few at a time. Was wondering if you had any thoughts as to why this might happen. The second one was pic #2250.
