 * I uploaded 7 images using the Media Uploaded and specified under Gallery settings
   to link thumbnails to image file. I saved it, then pressed the insert gallery
   button. The gallery was inserted no problem. When I preview the post, I can see
   the thumbnails. But, when I click on a thumbnail, a new page opens with the following
   message – Error: no image was specified.
 * I updated my htaccess file to include the mod_security, but that did not work.
   I checked my permissions and the folders are set to 755.
 * What should I check or do next?

 * I’m also experiencing this problem. It just happened out of the blue. Not sure
   if it’s an issue when I updated WordPress to the latest version. Anyone know 
   a fix?
