 * I know I’ve used this plugin before, but its been a while and I’m having problems.
 * I used to be able to set up a list of links with thumbnails, that were generated
   by Robothumb, but I’ll be damned if I can remember how I did it.
 * I’m using the basic setup, everything set as default with the exception of Robothumb
   being set to grab images from the websites in ‘Library 1’.
 * So as a refresher, how does this work?
 * The documentation is either near useless or well out of date now, so I couldn’t
   get any help there – especially as on the first time I used this plugin it fired
   up virtually straight away.
 * Thanks for any input on getting this to work!

 * Did you check the option for images to be displayed under the Advanced Settings
   tab under Library Settings?
 * Did you check the option labeled Use thumbnail service for dynamic link images?
 * Is your site running on http or https?

 * Also, did you try generating the images and storing them locally?

 * Gotcha!
 * I’d not added the ‘Library’ advanced settings option, and they fired up straight
   away!
 * It’s a whole new ball game since last when I used it, but I’ve got something 
   to work on with these new options.
 * Thanks for the assistance!

 * One more thing –
 * I’m only able to get a straight lined list of items going straight down the left
   hand side of the page, with the title of the link appearing at the side.
 * Is is possible to have links side by side, in around four columns, with the title
   of the links underneath the image?

 * I think what you are looking for is to format your links in a table format. Under
   Library Settings, you can configure your layout for table format using the button‘
   Reset current library for table layout’. Then, under the Advanced tab, you would
   need to change a few things to display multiple links per table row. These would
   include moving the tr tag from the Before Link row to the intermittent before
   link row. Same thing for the after link closing tr tag. You would also need to
   set a number for the Intermittent before link, reflecting how many items you 
   would want to display per table row.
 * Let me know if this makes sense and helps and please consider donating to support
   this plugin’s development.

 * I’ll look at that later, but meanwhile I’ve had to go with a plugin with less
   features, but which displays as mentioned above.
 * Using tables though – isn’t that a feature that’s not supported on a responsive
   layout?

 * Indeed, tables are not very responsive. That being said, you have full control
   over the tags that you place around links in the Advanced section of the Library
   Settings. You could just as easily put div tags before and after links, set them
   to float in your stylesheet and output a link or image, followed by a description,
   perhaps with a br tag or two between the two.

 * Hi Yannik,
 * Right I’ve been messing around with various layouts, and I think I might have
   found one using your suggestion above re:’Reset current library to Table Layout’.
 * One slight problem with this though is that at the end of the new table, there’s
   a table/link reading ‘Similar To’.
 * How would I go about removing this last field?

 * Unfortunately, when you just click on Show column headers, it will always display
   3 columns. A better place to create a first row of columns with a variable number
   would be by using the field Before First Link in the first row of the configuration
   table in the Advanced tab of library settings. You could write something like:
 * `<tr><th>First Header</th><th>Second header</th>`
 * Let me know if this helps.
