I was looking at my feed (from www.shootmatt.com)in Newsfire and I noticed the feed wasn't showing the image thumbnail.

This isn't an issue in rss readers that download the entire page, but in the case of Newsfire it only shows the rss preview.

I found the reason is that there should be at line 558, it should read like this...
$image = $cfgrow['siteurl']."/thumbnails/thumb_$image";

The slash befor thumbnails is necessary otherwise the address that the rss reader looks for the image is www.yoursite.comthumbnails/thumb_yourimagenumber

This can also be changed in the atom feed as well, at line 623.

I'm guessing that this isn't an issue for many because their rss readers are set to full page mode, rather than preview mode...but either way, adding this slash, makes the address complete.

Hope this helps.
