 * I’d hacked together a thumbnail version of YARPP using two of the templates as
   a base quite a while before the thumbnail version was released. I’d like to do
   the same with ERP to reduce the database load. Seems a really great approach 
   that makes a lot of sense. But, I can’t quite grok the method in the code. Tried
   a few approaches but none completely worked. I guess that I’m not getting the
   post thumbnail early enough, so it can be brought along with the ID and inserted
   into the li along with the permalink.
 * My second version of the YARPP template incorporates Get the Image, while the
   first one used only a custom field. Now, all posts have been converted to use
   the > 2.9 post_thumbnail, so Get the Image isn’t really necessary but it does
   still have some advantages and I’d like to keep it if possible.
 * Thoughts?

 * I’d be interested to know if you’ve been successful at adding thumbnails to this
   plugin.
 * Any chance you’ve solved it?
