@gbarnick So Bricki is the one wiki currently testing VipsSscaler - might be the cause of your image thumbnail problems? Can you provide a few examples and make sure to note which part is wrong/what it should be?

Sounds like it could be a possibility.

Here's some info. I've only uploaded one file to test so far, but it's http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/File:ToaMeiko_Avatar.png

As you can see in this screenshot, the non-thumbnailed full-size photo up top is correct, but in the version history where it's thumbnailed it still shows the old revision.
