thumbnail not created
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.

Re: thumbnail not created
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.

Re: thumbnail not created
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.
