You need ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick installed to use it as it
requires "identify" or "gm identify".  Earlier versions only worked
with ImageMagick.

I agree wholeheartedly and expressed a similar view a while back.
For me, mailing lists are the only things that work as I don't check
forums, regularly or irregularly.  I don't like the "monitor"
feature on the forums much either.  E-mail is faster to both read
and respond, plus requires no action on my part to regularly keep
track of things.

If Chuck okays it, I'll be more than happy to close the forums.
Only he or I can make that happen.
