Hi!
I am using Joomla 2.5.9 and VM 2.0.20b as a catalogue.
When I want to create a picture for a product the picture is uploaded but the thumbnail is not created. I do not use the "dynamical picture resizing" in the configuration as teh following error messages were shown in the frontend. As soon as I switched that off, the error messages disappeared.

Could anyone help please?
Thank you.
Turn off the error messages first. This warning suggests an issue with the GD2 library installed on the server, but it should still work to make thumbs.

Dear Jenkinhill,
I already checked the GD2 Library on the server and everything is installed right, I think. This is what it says:
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.4.2
T1Lib Support enabled
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPEG Support enabled
libJPEG Version 6b
PNG Support enabled
libPNG Version 1.2.44
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
libXpm Version 30411
XBM Support enabled
The error message ist not that problem as it already disappeared. But the thumbnails are more the problem. Do you know any help?
Thank you.
I have never had a problem with thumb creation. I assume the image files you are using are jpg and in the format imagename.jpg (all lower case).
