So makes sense the break was just in the last version. * As for why your message and [@thedrewseum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thedrewseum/) message were deleted I really don’t know myself as I guess only the Plugin developers can delete comments, they were relevant and were helping the issue, I’ve never seen a developer delete comments like this..very strange. * Plugin Contributor [Imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagely/) * (@imagely) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-thumb-functionality-not-working/#post-16073906) * [@hefin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hefin/), * We don’t have such an option to remove comments either so that’s not us. Only the forum moderators can remove posts or block threads in case these violate the forum [guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/)but they usually leave commentaries when doing that so that’s odd. * Yesterday, we have released NextGen Gallery 3.30 that should have resolved the problem with setting the thumbnail crop. * [thedrewseum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thedrewseum/) * (@thedrewseum) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-thumb-functionality-not-working/page/2/#post-16076447) * I can confirm that the issue **is resolved** for me with the latest update, thank you!
