Arrow Random Appearance/Disappearance of Thumbnails

A few months ago I asked about getting Photoplog thumbs to not show thumbs from a certain category. http://www.photoplog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1538

The final solution worked fine for me, but when I upgraded today and made the edit to the settings.php file, something strange happened.

If you take a look at the page, you may see thumbs, you may not. Each time I refresh the page, or re-click the gallery link, it's random. Sometimes the thumbs show, sometimes they don't show at all. Any reason why that would happen?

This was by design to prevent the selection of all rows from the table, i.e., a way to optimize an ORDER BY RAND() query without grabbing all the rows. The downside, especially for small galleries, is that sometimes no random thumbnails show. As you currently have a small gallery, remove the following from the query in the PhotoPlog Forum Home Thumbs plugin, but as the gallery gets bigger, you should put it back:

Alrighty, thank you. So I could safely comment this line out until the Gallery grows a little larger?

Yep, you can remove that line, but bigger galleries should keep that line.
