So I am having a bit of concern of whether or not Imagevue is actually generating the thumbnails for the gallery. My gallery is super slow when rendering the thumbnails out and digging around through the ftp I see no indication of any other thumbnail files being put anywhere.

Does anyone know the location of where they are supposed to be or ?

While I am not on dialup some of my other clients are and the gallery can take them up to a minute to load the first set of thumbnails.

Help

The thumbnails should be created in the same directory as where your pictures are.
The filenames of the thumbs are something like: tn_name.jpg.

May we have a link to your gallery, so we can take a look, and maybe we can help you with your slow-loading-problem.

Judging from what you just said, my thumbnails aren't being generated

pm has been sent and thank you for the help!!!

Just ran the test.zip file from Imagevuex to verify that I do in fact have GD2 installed and all tests came back positive.. but still no thumbnails

I take a look at your gallery, and it looks like is working OK.
It's a little bit slow with loading the pictures.

When I look into my temperary internetfiles I don't see the thumbnails either.
I think that is the reason of the slow loading.

Maybe mjau-mjau can tell us what is wrong.
Can you send him a PM with the link to your gallery, and a link to this topic.

Fixed!

I feel like such a noob. The folder permissions was what was keeping the thumbnails from being generated. Thanks to everyone for their help.

Thats right! The fact that thumbnails are displaying, does not necessarily mean that they are being generated and saved. It simply means that your server is successfully creating thumbnails and displaying.

If you do not set permissions so that thumbnails may be saved to the server, your gallery will run slower because it has to generate thumbnail resizes on-the-fly for every single viewer of your gallery.
