the site has been running for quite some time, and seemingly on its own, the image gallery pages started displaying the fullsize upload images instead of the thumbnail images.

using the image module for the galleries.

anyone have any idea what could have happened to cause this?

and more importantly how can i fix it?

This may or may not be the cause of your problem,
but I have had the problem happen when people posted pics in bmp format.

This has happened to me - usually if i accidentally or intentionally change the path of the directory of the images. Browse the filehandler table that contains the image locations and check that the path to each image exists. One key indicator is to upload a new image and see whether the image module displays it (including thumbnail) correctly.

I looked at the file table, and all image paths are pointing to the images dir. but i noticed something strange... alo to fhte images that used to have thumbnails now only have "_original" listed in the filename column of the files table.
im kindof lost here...
