nevermind,
I found a cheap ass solution myself.
(made a copy of the uploads folder and put that one on the location where it used to be)

Typical, I've been searching for hours, I finally call out for help and find a solution myself within 15 mins. Thanks anyways :-)

hi again molitor,

I followed your instructions in the "requirements for the thumbnail images to work..." topic and I've read about every post in the darenhoyt forum. No success.
This is my problem:

My site was constructed in a temporary folder: besmet.be/wordpress
Thumbnails worked perfectly.
Yesterday the site was supposed to be launched so I moved it to the root folder: besmet.be
(To do this, I followed these instructions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
no problem what so ever)
So now the thumbnails aren't loading any more. Instead the linked alt text is shown.

I found out the script does create the thumbs in the cache folder, so this link works:
http://besmet.be/wp-content/themes/wpglass/scripts/cache/357eee813744fad16647c905c76bbb59.png
But, when loading the front page, the timthumb script still looks for the image in the old wordpress folder:
http://besmet.be/wp-content/themes/wpglass/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://besmet.be/WORDPRESS/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Picture-1.png&w=210&h=145&zc=1

As you can imagine, I need to fix this ASAP, so a quick reply would be very much appreciated.
