S = rules question

Hey – I am still learning and am getting some “Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error” codes and have been pouring through my .htacess trying to see if something is wrong and I came across something unrelated.

For the rule that’s listed below, the comments say that the rules have to be in order from highest to lowest or at least that’s why I understand from the comments.

Anyway the rules start with S=12, go down to S=3, then there’s no S=2 but there is a S=1.

Two questions

1.)Should the S=1 be change to S=2
2.)I do not run Tim Thumb on this site so is that code needed?

Thanks,
