I don;t know if you understand PHP or not but that is the script that creates the thumbs and then stores them in a directory so it doesnt have to create that thumb again,

I have tried changing CSS anmd everything and the only thing that gets the images away from the top is to set margin-top to a fixed height which is no good...

my mistake I thought you meant scaling by just changing the width and not creating a totally new thumbnail image.
