TimThumb Script

I host most of my images on my Flickr acct. It looks like TimThumb doesn't work with images that are hosted outside of your site, by default. Is there anyway to make it work with Flickr too?

If not, is there a way to turn it off altogether?

It's not commonly known but TimThumb does actually work with Flickr.

Viewing your site it looks like your timthumb is not set up correctly which is why the thumbnails do not show. Have you followed all the instructions here: http://prothemedesign.com/support/timthumb-help/

Ben,

The CACHE & TEMP folders inside TOOLS is now set to 777. I also checked the SCRIPTS folder, but no .htaccess file to be seen (i have view .files on).

But, I am not sure how to verify TimThumb is running correctly now.

Are any of the other directories set to 777 permissions? You should check all directories higher than the tools directory (so v4, themes, wp-content) if any other them are 777 then there's a chance the script won't work.

If this doesn't help then please send me your ftp information via the helpdesk (http://prothemedesign.com/support/helpdesk/) and I will see if I can work out what the issue is.
