Hi Krinkle,
thanks for working on the script, I hope you'll keep helping out :-)
The reason I'm not using the direct thumb.php route is that it only
accepts thumbnail width, not height. So, an image that is, say,
300x900, will be thumbnailed as 120x360, which is not really pretty in
a row 120px high. The API call allows me to specify both maximum width
and height, thus guaranteeing the thumbnail to fit into the row
height. I guess the API call is a small price to pay.
Cheers,
Magnus

Hi Magnus,
I've checked it out with Web Inspector in Safari (ala Firebug in
Firefox) and noticed it tries to load in (one or more times each loop)
an "undefined" thing to url:

undefined . This sometimes causes a questionmark-image to appear in
the flow. Not sure what causes this.
Tho I haven't read the script fully and extensively I noticed an
additional API call is made to aquire the thumbnail paths. It could be
that you need that API-call for some other information, if that's not
the case you might be able to save that additional Ajax request by
using something like this:
