Reply to comment by twovests in silly question, does anyone know what we did to fix thumbnails? (fixed!) by twovests

SOLVED! Nginx needs exec permissions even on directories.

I solved this by chmod +x submission_images_2x/, submission_images_1x.

i think this is just how unix permissions work in general, not just an nginx thing

$ mkdir poo
$ echo crouton > poo/stuff
$ cat poo/stuff
crouton
$ chmod 600 poo
$ cat poo/stuff
cat: poo/stuff: Permission denied

congrats on solving it
