It seems your server does not have, or has an outdated GD2 PHP extension. This extension is used by Imagevue to automatically create thumbnail preview images from your original pictures. You basically have two options to overcome this:

1. Contact your webserver service provider/admin, and ask them to install or update to the GD2 extension for PHP.

2. If you can not achieve that of above, your only option is to create your own thumbnails. The rule for thumbnails is simply "tn_"+"original_name.jpg". There are many software packages that can easily batch process thumbnails for a folder. For example irfanview -

I believe you can disregard the 2nd issue with the warning ...

Normally, the GD2 extension is included in the PHP download. However, you need to enable it in your php.ini file, and 'restart server'.

In php.ini, there should be a line somewhere:
Code
;extension=php_gd2.dll
The ; character means it is not enabled. You should simply change it to:
Code
extension=php_gd2.dll
After you install the software(or simply upload it..), you need not login to the admin page. Mainly you need to log in to FTP and create/manage folders, and upload image. The admin is for the following only:

1. Uploading photos (single file uploads)
2. Deleting photos
3. Creating thumbnails
4. Creating descriptions

FTP is superior in file management.
