Re: Re: Re: Wiki won't do thumbnails
> > Making the thumbnails isn't handled by Tiki directly, but by libararies on your server, either GD or Imagick, which Tiki detects during the install. GD doesn't make gif files, though, so if that's the one your Tiki is using and you upload gifs, you won't get thumbnails. Instead, the full-size images are used; GD does jpeg thumbnails fine, though. Check the Admin/Image Galleries page to see which library is being used. Are the pictures you uploaded gif files, or jpegs?

Installing Imagick requires changing the system-wide PHP config. You have a couple choices:
1) Request Imagick support from your hosting service. They may or may not do this.
2) Check Admin -> Image Galleries to see if GD is detected. If so, use jpeg images.
