Hmmm, I posted this same pic on another site I was using the software on before I changed over to the new site. Unfortunately I do not have the other site configured so I can't compare settings, etc.
You must have just upgraded. This is what happens on occasion. All you have to do is open the control panel and select submit even if it looks correct. then it will repopulate the setting in the database. HERE is a post with the same problem and resolution with a link to another post.
I believe what happens is somehow the connection to the database hiccups while the control panel is trying to update the new fields. In fact it happened to me once. Just find the screen that applies to the problem such as image re size I believe it is the gallery section and submit again.

Sigh. Fix one problem another rears it's ugly head. I dont' longer get the error, but I don't get the photo either, just three lines showing the defaults for full size, medium size and thumbnail images. I think I'll go lay down for awhile and give it a rest and the solution will probably present itself after I try again.
Check your folder and file permissions . You can do that from the control panel also. If you have something that failed you can click on it and it will expand and show all the files.

While checking some other things out, it appears to be a server problem in that I'm not able to change the gallery sub-folders permissions to the correct one to allow the forum to write to them.

I was able to change the permissions on one of the folders on my server, which fixed the problem in one of my galleries, but to fix the 2nd one I had to completely get rid of the forum and recreate it from scratch and now it's working. I knew a short, very short, nap would help, plus about a dozen Gummy Bears didn't hurt either...LOL
