   Anyone have this problem?

   I only have the options of full-size or title for my image when trying to insert it into a post - no thumbnail option.

   It's a decent sized gif.

   What's the resolution of the image?

   Exceedingly large images do not get thumbnails generated for them. PHP memory requirements go up rapidly when trying to do that, so WordPress doesn't try with anything larger than 3 megapixels. That can be adjusted via plugins and such.

   Also if your php doesn't have GD support compiled then it won't generate a thumbnail either for any image. So does it work for some or none at all.

   Hmm.

   It's not excessively large, but it's for a client on a Windows Server so that may be something to do with it?

   Possibly. If that Windows version of PHP doesn't have gd and such installed, then it won't work. I don't think that it is usually enabled by default on Windows installs.

   Edit their PHP.INI file and find this line:
   #extension=php_gd2.dll

   That hash mark in front disables the extension. Remove the hash mark like so:
   extension=php_gd2.dll

   You may want to enable the php_mbstring.dll and php_exif.dll DLL's while you're at it.

   Then restart the web server.
