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">

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">I don't use tim-thumb but two themes I just reviewed were using it. I'll have to go back and look into them regarding this.

Also could someone look at my final comment on <a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/query?keywords=~theme-syailendra" target="_blank">Syailendra</a> as I am unsure if Chris is cc'd on this ticket by simply commenting. <div>
