No, I don't use Thumbnails for Excerpts anymore because Post Thumbnails were added in version 2.9 and I switched to those. I think the issue you are having is with excerpts in general and not specifically with that plugin - excerpts in WordPress strip out html formatting by default. There are some plugins that deal with this but you would need to test if they will also work with Thumbnails for Excerpts. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-excerpt/ Aaah .. ok.

By formatting I mean breaks in paragraphs. They're all removed with Thumbnails for Excerpts. Makes it look like bad grammar. Any idea as to how I can fix that? Thanks for your response!

You would need to find the css class used by the slider and then use something like this - this is the one I'm using for the testimonials so the class or ID would be different. <code> #testimonial .imgtfe { display: none; } </code> .imgtfe is the class used for the thumbnails and it is being set to not display them with testimonials.
