Had some problems getting this to work.

The problems I've encountered were:

1. The main problem is because it resizes on the fly when a page loads. If you're applying to this hack to a busy site, you can sometimes as we do have 5+ images in a thread. Although it seems to work when there's just one image, any more and it seems like the script doesn't have long enough to complete the conversion and you end up with broken images, and corrupt files in the thumbs dir. Is there any way to give the script time to generate the thumbnails. Alternatively if a script could be created to convert all images store in the directory in one hit, might take some time, but its where you'll eventually end up - and I think it can cope with converting one image on a thread as a new post is made.

2. ImageMagick worked in that it created a resized thumbnail but for some reason it generated the name without quotes - but the script is expecting those since it uses the php function escapeshellarg for the filename. Anyone know a way round this?

3. Couldn't get NetPBM to reduce the image size, it simply created a copy of the oversized image to display.

Great hack, and potentially what I've been looking for - but unworkable on my forum unfortunately. Any assistance much appreciated.
