Is the PNG thumbnail problem on this server going to get fixed sometime? ;)

It should already be fixed... isn't it?

What is the problem? This is a png:

14880

Are you referring to the misleading error message about being unable to resize the image? That needs to be changed since resizing of the actual image is not attempted but it shares the same error message that avatars/profile pictures use, which are resized.

Ah. Well, I guess I'll have to take this to vB.org again, since they aren't working over there and last time I brought it up, they said it was a fault with the server. :p

You should have been more clear with the problem. PNG thumbnails with GD are broken on this server. I have no interest in fixing it because it gives me a broken installation to try workarounds for. To fix it, the PNG libraries probably need to be updated and PHP rebuilt.

.. but we have ImageMagick installed and that works with PNG. Tell vb.org to change the image library to ImageMagick if you need png thumbnails.
