 * Meanwhile, I gave up on wp team fixing all the errors with the uploader in short
   time – this error I have seems to be basically ignored so far here – and downloaded
   the flexible upload plugin ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flexible-upload](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flexible-upload)).
 * With this plugin(rather similiar in design to the original wp uploader, but with
   much better functionality, both may have the same development roots ?), my problems
   are TOTALLY GONE without any change in my hosting environment – and this I think
   pretty much PROVES that the code delivered with wp is the cause for the problem.

 * This is still an open topic for me… no one else out there experiencing this…?
   I used up my imagination of possible error locations for now.

 * Something else that might be a hint to the problem:
 * When deleting images via media library, only the original size image is deleted,
   the thumbnail and medium res files generated in the uploading process are left
   behind and NOT deleted.
 * Is this the intended behavior or a hint that somehow WP 2.5 does NOT KNOW about
   the thumbnails…? Should these files be referenced somewhere in the database? 
   I could not find a trace of that by looking through the posts table.

 * WordPress: Fresh Install 2.5
 * Browser: I checked with IE 7 and Firefox 2.0.0.9, no difference.
 * Plugins: Only the “Uploaded File Permissions” Plugin to account for permission
   problems with german hosting company DomainFactory. Need this to have file permissions
   on uploads correctly set after upload. This has the effect of the image upload
   working now and media library and uploader applet showing the images without 
   errors after upload. NO other plugins.
 * File and directory permissions problems I think are out of question now since
   everything is working in the visual editor and on the normal site view if I manually
   enter the “-150×150” in the filname, and I can manage the image file in media
   library.
 * Since this is a pure testing environment, I´ll happily give you the admin password
   via private eMail if you have time to take a look and try for yourself…
 * Might be something simple that I overlook. Not so many people seem to have this
   problem at all, or there would be flaming all over the place ;-). Or they all
   still working on getting the upload itself to work…

 * I have no Javascript errors or warnings of any kind (and never had), the uploader
   opens everytime and is and has been fully functional in every case.
    I tried 
   all combinations of size and alignment options, however, the choice for embedding
   thumbnail or medium size is consistently ignored, no size extension referencing
   a thumb or medium size file is put in to the file name of the src paramater.

 * Hi hakre,
 * as I mentioned:
 * “The Thumbnail file does exist (named “einbild-150×150.jpg”), and there have 
   been no errors during the upload/resize process before.”
 * Upload worked, chrunching occured, no errors, file existing. Even manually appending
   the -150×150 file name extension to the src parameter in HTML view works and 
   delivers the thumbnail fine. It´s only that the uploader applet does NOT insert
   the correct code.

 * Ok, at last – found other people with this problem :-(. I have this exact same
   problem also…! Posted in help forum before, but got no answer so far.

 * I should add that for me the problem is NOT with images uploaded with an earlier
   Version of WP, but specifically with images that where correctly uploaded with
   WP 2.5 (fresh installation) without any error messages, thumbnail files exisiting
   and all.

 * Of course one can manually code image embedding in HTML. But this simply is not
   an option for non tech people, typing exact path information and setting size
   parameters… for that, we basically HAVE an image insert button. And it should
   work!
 * For me, it looks like a problem with the INTERPRETATION of the inserted code 
   later on, not a problem at the time of insertion of the image code.
 * Are we really the only people experiencing this…?

 * I think you possibly misunderstood gideonstrumpet… for me it looks like he may
   experience a similar odd behavior of WP 2.5 as keeps me from going productive
   with 2.5:
 * Selecting an image in the dialog and inserting in a post always embeds the image
   in ORIGINAL size, not THUMBNAIL or medium size as selected in the form. HTML 
   view reveals code that seems to be correct (referencing “size-thumbnail”):
 * <img class=”alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5″ title=”20080312-0151″ src=”[http://<MY_WEBSITE>/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/20080312-0151.jpg&#8221](http://<MY_WEBSITE>/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/20080312-0151.jpg&#8221);
   alt=”” />
 * This seems to me as if my longing for thumbnail size was well understood by wordpress…
   but the image is displayed at original size in the visual editor AND in the saved
   post later on.
 * I already made a new, completely fresh wp 2.5 install with default theme to test
   this, to avoid any theme related problems.
 * Anybody else here with this problem – or a solution?

 * I still have it also – the solution suggested by UnswoleLilDude did not help 
   in my case; all necessary libs are installed and folder permissions are correct.
 * Anybody with an idea…?
