 * Sup guys,
 * I am using this plugin and the thumbnails are not displayed. Just a box with 
   an X in the middle. Help me please!

 * The plugin is looking for thumbnails attached to the posts using custom fields
   instead of the newer post thumbnails plugin which has been around since 2.9. 
   You can modify the plugin yourself using the instructions on [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-related-posts-thumbs-not-showing?replies=3).
 * Or else you can try out a different plugin. As long as you’re not using Disqus
   and SEO pager, I highly recommend [YARPP](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/).

 * Also, I notice that on the back end, all my tags on my posts disappeared when
   I activated this plug-in. Does that mean they’re no longer tagged? Should I be
   worried? I’m using wordpress 3.0.1. Some help would be great. thanks so much.
