 * Hi,
 * I have GD 2.0 on my server and I am trying to get the worpress thumbnails working
   correctly. I have looked through the code some and it seems that wordpress attempts
   to create a new directory in the form /thumb-{name}, but when it attempts to 
   copy the file, this directory doesnt seem to exist and I get the error:
 * Thumbnail path invalid
 * I have tried opening up the permissions on the directory to 777 and it doesn’t
   seem to help.
 * Does anyone have any advice?
