I'm completely unfamiliar with TimThumb. What is it, and what does it do?<div><br></div><div>It looks to me like it's just an image thumbnailer/resizer - which is exactly what core Post Thumbnails does.</div><div><br>
</div><div>So, should we even be allowing new Themes to be using TimThumb? Does it do something that can't be accomplished with the core functionality?</div><div><br></div><div>Chip<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">
