 * Thumbnails won’t load when uploading photos.
 * The photos upload fine. The thumbnails begin loading but the program hangs after
   the last thumbnail progress bar completes. No error message.
 * The thumbnails don’t appear, but the larger images do.
 * The program has alwasy worked in the past. This problem began rather suddenly.

 * I’m able to manually create thumbnails and load them myself.
 * NextGen is able to create the thumbnails folder but it is no longer able to create
   the thumbnails.
 * Once I create and upload the thumbnails adding thumbs_ as a prefix, the gallery
   works great.
 * Tips for fixing this issue will be appreciated.

 * I have the same problem, but only with some folders. It appears to be size related,
   i.e. if the folder contains too many files (pictures) nextgen hangs during thumbnail
   creation.
 * I have been able to create the thumbnails one by one usung “bulk action” on just
   a single file. Again thumbnail creation will hang, but closing the pop up window
   and saving the gallery file makes the thumbnail appear. After doing that cumbersome
   process for most of the files inside the gallery folder I can choose now more
   than one file and the thumbnail creation starts to work as intended.
 * This faulty thumbnail creation behavior might have to do with an error message
   I get when I try to customize a thumbnail using “edit thumb”:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ngg_get_ttffont() (previously declared in /home/
   hapzfl/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/settings.
   php:762) in /home/hapzfl/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/
   admin/settings.php on line 790
 * I hope there is a solution for this problem.
    I am using wordpress 3.1.2 and 
   NextGEN Gallery 1.7.4

 * I just tested it again: 50 files/pictures is the maximum nextgen can handle when
   trying to create thumbnails.

 * In another folder it only worked with 33 or less.

 * Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!
    I created a new folder for the images. I 
   then went into options and changed the default gallery location to that new folder,
   and the thumbnails were created with no problem!
 * I figured I’d try a different photo gallery until I got this figured out. Nothing
   really appealed to me. Many were very slick, but none had that simple interface
   that loaded quickly.
 * Thanks again for the help!
