I need to buckle down some more and learn some stuff. Ok. Well, you’re way more patient than I am, then, and you are appreciated for your work.

The plugin author sent me a beta version of the next release and I uploaded it this morning. So far, it works perfectly.

Thanks. Yeah, I did test it just now, and it seems to be still working. You rock! (Because you know I can't just not post pictures.) Well that explains that!

Let me know if there are any more problems. We'll install the bug fix upgrade of WP, WordPress 2.01, as soon as it comes out.

I either got it to work or it was having Heather stand over me that made me look stupid so it worked. I'm not sure why I couldn't get it to work before. Hmph.

I’m not sure why I couldn’t get it to work before.

The difference between WWII and Vietnam is that in the earlier case there was no need for subtlety. WWII was a clear cut war between good and evil that no one really strongly opposed. Vietnam was something else entirely... What struck me about that Vietnam poster is that take away the original context and it could be used today. Conservatives would say that the media has overlayed the Iraq War with the Vietnam template, thus making it an evil war which we must of necessity lose. Did you look in the LOC catalogs at all for your WWII posters? Hmmm? No, it doesn't appear so. Sheesh, we spend all your taxpayer money making this stuff available, and you people don't even use it! You go to friggin' Northwestern University's website. That’s a nice theme for the 112 site, by the way.

The 40's were not a time for subtlety, apparently. I skimmed through around 350 images and have a selection of the some of the best here (scroll down the page and click on the links): http://sodsbrood.com/compblog/index.php?blog=8 On the bright side, I spent much of the early morning researching WWII propaganda posters and the one you use above is far more sophisticated than anything I came across.

It is a bug. There is a fix coming soon with WordPress 2.01. In the meantime, we can either use linked thumbnails, or I can hack your inline_uploading.php file as indicated in <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/56985" rel="nofollow">this support forum thread</a>. Mel, I will correct the code for your installation tonight, just as soon as I have a chance. It is a frustrating problem. Funny, but I seem to recall uploading full-size images the first time I did it. Maybe I am mistaken. Update: this is a common problem with WordPress 2.0. It is a bug.
