That is working now and pulling all of the correct thumbnails, thank you!

It seems that it is operating category specific, which I am actually okay with, but would the only way to change that be to change my permalink structure to remove the category from the permalink?

Here is the single php code.

<?php get_header() ?>

<?php $prevPost = get_previous_post(true); $prevthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($prevPost->ID, array(100,100) ); ?>
<?php $nextPost = get_next_post(true); $nextthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($nextPost->ID, array(100,100) ); ?>

	<div id="container">

		<div id="content">

<?php the_post(); ?>

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="<?php sandbox_post_class(); ?>">

	<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('Permalink to %s', 'sandbox'), wp_specialchars(get_the_title(), 1)) ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title() ?></a></h1>

	<h2 class="subheading"><?php the_subheading(); ?></h2>
<div class="clear"></div>

<div class="entry-content"><?php the_content(); ?>
<div class="excerpt"><?php
	if($post->post_excerpt != '') :
    	echo '<div id="summary">';
    	echo '<font color="#999999"><b>Read More :</b><br>';
    	the_excerpt();
    	endif; ?>
</font></div>

<div class="clear"></div>

Alright, thank you for all of your help!!!

For the record, here is the final code I will be using:

<?php $previousPost = get_previous_post( true );
$vspreviousurl = 'http://www.ayedom.com/i/arrow_left_big_alt.png';
if (has_post_thumbnail( $previousPost->ID ) ) {
    $previousthumbnail = get_post_thumbnail_id( $previousPost->ID );
    $vspreviousurl = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $previousthumbnail );} ?>

<?php $nextPost = get_next_post( true );
$vsnexturl = 'http://www.ayedom.com/i/arrow_right_big_alt.png';
if (has_post_thumbnail( $nextPost->ID ) ) {
    $nextthumbnail = get_post_thumbnail_id( $nextPost->ID );
    $vsnexturl = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $nextthumbnail );} ?>

<div id="nav-below" class="navigation" style="position:absolute !important;top:275px !important;width:1000px !important;">
				<div class="nav-previous" style="display:block;width:100px;height:100px;margin-left:-20px !important;background:url('<?php echo $vspreviousurl; ?>') 0 0 no-repeat;"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '<img src="i/arrow_left_big.png" class="fadeaway" />') ?></div>
				<div class="nav-next" style="display:block;width:100px;height:100px;margin-right:-20px !important;background:url('<?php echo $vsnexturl; ?>') 0 0 no-repeat;"><?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="i/arrow_right_big.png" class="fadeaway" />') ?></div>
			</div>

Now this is my full code; if you click left or right a couple of times from http://ayedom.com/eastman-leather-clothing-aviators-kit-bag/ to a post without a set featured image, it is not showing my fallback image “arrow_left_big.png”, the div background is still blank.

<?php $previousPost = get_previous_post( true );
$vspreviousurl = 'http://www.ayedom.com/i/arrow_left_big.png';
if (has_post_thumbnail( $previousPost->ID ) ) {
    $previousthumbnail = get_post_thumbnail_id( $previousPost->ID );
    $vspreviousurl = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $previousthumbnail, 'thumbnail', true );} ?>

<?php $nextPost = get_next_post( true );
$vsnexturl = 'http://www.ayedom.com/i/arrow_right_big.png';
if (has_post_thumbnail( $nextPost->ID ) ) {
    $nextthumbnail = get_post_thumbnail_id( $nextPost->ID );
    $vsnexturl = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $nextthumbnail, 'thumbnail', true );} ?>

<div id="nav-below" class="navigation" style="position:absolute !important;top:300px !important;width:1000px !important;">
				<div class="nav-previous" style="display:block;width:100px;height:100px;background:url('<?php echo $vspreviousurl[0]; ?>') 0 0 no-repeat;"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '<img src="i/arrow_left_big.png" class="fadeaway" />') ?></div>
				<div class="nav-next" style="display:block;width:100px;height:100px;background:url('<?php echo $vsnexturl[0]; ?>') 0 0 no-repeat;"><?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="i/arrow_right_big.png" class="fadeaway" />') ?></div>
			</div>

Nevermind, HostGator fixed it, they said they had to reset my .htaccess file back to default, and all pages showed up immediately.

Thanks again everyone.

Sorry…… Okay, it seemed just one page had a permalink pointing to stukdesigns.com directly, and it lost its old page of “stukdesigns.com/about-us”… i tried to rename it to that and it said it was taken, so i just changed it to stukdesigns.com/about.

Back to the main issue though, the loading.

All i have in the sidebar is arbitrary text, containing HTML that calls for the image rollovers. I realized that deactivating Shadowbox gets rid of it, and reactivating it brings it back.

**** FIXED ****
I uninstalled and reinstalled shadowbox, deactivated it’s “auto shadowbox on images” in its settings, and now the “loading” message is gone.

Thank you for your assistance

The plugins sometimes show up on the individual posts, but not on my template; where should I be putting the php lines for the plugins in my template i posted above??
