 * The [thumb] shortcode conflicts with several plugins, including the immensely
   popular NexGen Gallery. Please change the shortcode to [sitethumb] or [shrinktheweb]
   or the like.

 * We will take a look. In order to prevent “breaking” existing users of our plugin,
   we will likely add a new option for the shortcode. Users will select [thumb] (
   for legacy support) or the new default of [stwthumb] to prevent conflicts in 
   the future.

 * A new version was released to address this, but the developer misunderstood the
   request. Legacy [thumb] no longer works in the latest release of our plugin.
 * Therefore, it is best to wait for the next update.
 * Here is the support topic on the subject:

 * Turns out that everything is working as expected but there was confusion about
   setting it as default. Once you upgrade to version 2.3 or later, then [stwthumb]
   will be the default and users will have to purposely select [thumb] in order 
   to support the legacy shortcodes.
