I am going to try a different thumbnailing service and need to know where to edit <strong>{LINKTHUMBSHOT}</strong>. I am currently just editing the linkbit template to point to the new thumbs site. Since I installed and upgraded the script via this site, I have no files on my PC to search.
It would be a whole lot simpler and save a ton of upgrade headaches to just switch off thumbshots or remove {LINKTHUMBSHOT} from the templates and insert the other thumbnailing service's HTML code directly into the templates -- namely the link bit template and link details template (Admin -> Templates -> Manage Templates or linkbit.tpl / details.tpl, possibly detailcomments.tpl if you have the combo switch on). Editing PHP files should always be assumed to be the wrong way to do something.
If you need to do PHP processing for some reason, you can do that in the templates too. If there's some sort of legitimate reason for wanting a template variable, then make a differently-named one with a pseudomethod.
