 * How long does it normally take robothumbs to generate images of linked websites?
 * I’ve had it all up and running for a few hours now and it’s still showing the
   placeholder thumb.
 * The page in question: [http://martinjclemens.com/links-3/](http://martinjclemens.com/links-3/)

 * How are you working with thumbnails in Link Library? Did you press the generate
   button under the library, or did you check the box to generate thumbnails dynamically
   when the page is generated?
 * If you press the generate button, Link Library will just get images from Robothumb
   once and store them locally, then use these local images.
 * If you check to generate dynamically, then it goes out to the site each time.
   I had most of my thumbs generate with 20-60 seconds in my tests.
