Can someone regenerate the thumbnails in bulk, or should we start a thread with the b0rked URLs?

I don't know if this is what you are talking about, but I (for 1) have been getting many wrong thumbnails in my It used to occur about 1 time per 100 images but now seems to be about 1 in I was deleting the image and reposting but now, I've decided, a better way is to leave the bad thumbs there so just perhaps someone will look at the software Just my opinion
That is leaving a lot of extra work for the Mods Preview the post before you Submit it, and if it is not correct fix it The bad thumbs seen to occur when 2 posts go in at the same time and the thumbs are I don't know how that is possible but that is what seems to be Probably one in 100 thumbs come up wrong, in my experience

I have to disagree on several points, I really consider the posting process to be easy and I'm averaging nine posts a day since An extra 30 seconds to hit Preview, check the thumbs and hit Submit doesn't add a lot of The mods stay very busy cleaning up dead links, duplicates and rules violations so it's not fair to expect them to add this task - the board will If someone like Horsty on a flaky dialup in Greece can post as much as he does, it can't be too As I write this I'm posting an 86MB video of Milena Velba and when I see the text in the Firefox tab change from Loading to Post a reply I go to that tab and add another If I find someone is chasing my posts, downloading them as fast as they are posted, I open another tab of the thread and stage the next Second, this is an annoyance and not a frequent or major problem - it's only happened to me a few times but then I post mostly picture sets that only have one preview pic, or videos with no Lately I've posted more 4-pic posts and haven't had it happen You seem to work in or around the software business so you must know how the bug fix process I would guess this bug has been reported to the phpBB folks but if they're in the middle of a major build of a new release, this would be way down the They are working on showstoppers and this doesn't Your idea to write a script and put it in a cron is the best temporary fix - write Mike and offer to do That would be a great Crons are great to run cleanup scripts so this would be a logical workaround and we know workarounds are always necessary in the world of software As an admin working with developers, I was just happy to get a workaround for a problem and usually the endusers were To the best of my knowledge this board is hosted by an ISP running Red Hat Linux so a cron is no I've almost finished posting the video in the time it took me to hunt-and-peck type this

Previewing is painless??? If you were a 56k user like me who really gets about 25k speed and were posting mostly 100k+ sized attachments, which I normally collect and try to share here, I'm not sure you would see it the same Previewing the attachment is easy enough, but deleting and resubmitting takes me a lot of time! I believe the problem is not mine (as I made a correct post) and I will not waste my time checking if the thumbnails are If this is unacceptable, PM me with another I just think the BBS software owners should be the one to deal with the problem - Not the Mods or the
