 * using version 1.9.13 of the plugin this is my first round of using nextgen gallery
   so i could be making an amateur mistake. the eero i recieve when nextgen is trying
   to create thumbnails is
 * “Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 50855936) (tried to allocate 12672 bytes)
   in /homepages/15/d288426889/htdocs/blahblah/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
   lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 179”
 * any help would be appreciated
 * i am using 1&1 as my host and my raw images range from 3mg to 10mg my images 
   are names as follows IMG_1234.jpg
 * I think i read somewhere that a file ending in a number could cause problems 
   so i tried renaming a file but get the same error
 * thank you for your help

 * – WordPress up to date? yes 3.5.2
    – NextGEN up to date? yes 1.9.13 – What version
   of NextGEN Gallery did you upgrade from? (i.e. I had 1.9.8, then upgraded to 
   1.9.12) new install
 * (please confirm the following, with your server host tech) :
    – MySQL up to date(
   at least 5.2.4)? 5.1.67-log – PHP up to date (at least 5.0)? 5.2 can update to
   5.4 – The mod_rewrite Apache module activated? – PHP Safe Mode OFF?
 * Additional information that will help us find a solution:
    – Who are you hosted
   with? 1 and 1 – What theme are you running? responsive – Which plugins do you
   have installed and activated? disabled all except nextgen – Does this error still
   occur if you switch your theme to the WP default, and deactivate all plugins 
   except NextGEN Gallery? (*be sure to clear your browser cache and reload your
   site after deactivating) Yes
