  On my Unite sandbox site I’m not having any problems with post images appearing in blog lists on the home page or anywhere else. And no one else has reported this issue. If you can post a link to a live web page that displays the issue I’ll gladly take a look, see if I can spot any obvious cause.

  I have exactly this problem and I am sure that I have the right paths for the images…Here is the page in question…help…I have worked on this for 2 days now and I think it may be on your end..I have permissions now set to 777 on the upload folder.

  I think the problem is the “~” in your URL. For some reason TimThumb does not like this character which is commonly used in temporary URLs. Try the full real URL instead and it should work fine.

  Don’t use 777 permissions. A lot of hosts won’t even allow them. Use 755 instead.

  Hello…unfortunately…that IS the real url…it includes the home folder in the url and Yes, it is temporary. I am not sure how to get around that

  I just got with my web hosting service. The only way, it seems on their end to resolve this and have a url without the ~ in it, is to buy for 6/month a dedicated IP and this is just temporary until I can get the client ok to move his domain… do you have any other option?

  No, sorry, we can’t think of any other option. It’s the way TimThumb works and we can’t change the way TimThumb works.
