So it looks to me that all of the thumbnails on Pogopedia (for every single image) are broken and have been so for a very long time.
Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed? Why would it happen anyway?
By the way, they look broken to me on Chrome, Firefox & IE.

How do you mean? Do you mean you can't see any of the images or only ones in the format of:
[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|...] ?
Because there have been a lot of problems with the images in terms of resizing and making thumbnails etc. I think if the wiki is a big part of the secret project, Dan needs to add more features to his wiki as the current version appears to be the more basic.

I've never encountered my ISP blocking anything at all. I think my ISP remembers I live in America, thank goodness. Could you put up a screenshot of what you see? |

Yeah, I got the same!
I'm fairly sure there's a problem with the wiki that means it doesn't accept thumbnails (If you put [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|....]] then it won't work). This is also kinda fustrating in that I don't think you can resize images.
Someone with access to the inside setting of the wiki (WikiAdmins don't) needs to install this update.

It may be only Dan, or anyone else involved in the actually setting up of the wiki. So unfortunately we've got to contact him - and he's quite often busy. |

This problem occured at the creatation of the wiki and Dan knows about this problem, some of the people with more wiki knowledge have tried to fix it but apparantly they didn't find it either so currently it's a no-thumbnail wiki
So if you want to use an image on the wiki then you need to make it thumbnail size yourself by resizing it by using a program like paint and then upload the thumbnail version of your image

I mean, it's clearly a fixable issue since every other Wiki I've seen has usable thumbnails. I'm curious as to what was tried and who else could help figure it out. By the way, if I was given the proper permissions, I'd totally work my darnedest to find a solution and implement it. |

I would have thought that Dan or someone could contact someone from MediaWiki to help. I mean - wikis are all about helping out stuff for free, so someone should be willing to help out from outside the pogotribe.

Hm, yes, that sounds good. The only issue is notifying Dan of this. Though I understand Frejman has the same permissions as Dan. Don't know how it all works though.
