You can use any size you want. Doesnt matter in the least bit. Thumbnails do have an optimal size, 21 X 21 or whatever it is, at which they do not get scaled up or down. Anything else gets its thumbnail scaled which can be detrimental to some well thought out artwork. Its not that the image data for the thumbnail gets whacked, its the thumbnail itself that gets scaled.
There is a known bug in the cast thumbnail that causes thumbnails to sometimes not fill the member window properly which is likely what you are running up against.
