is Wp-thumbie users vulnerable to latest timthumb.php 0-day vulnerability?

No, thankfully wp-thumbie has been using older version of timthumb.php script which doesn’t have support for external images thats where the vulnerability exists.

What are the requirements for this plugin?

WordPress 2.5 or above
Your Webhost must support Php GD Library

Can I customize what is displayed?

All options can be customized within the Options page in WP-Admin itself

The plugin uses the css id wp_thumbie in the div that surrounds the list items. So, if you are interested, you can add code to your style.css file of your theme to style the related posts list.

Thumbnails are not displayed ?

Check out permission the of Wp-thumbie and wp-thumbie/cache folder. it should be set to 777.
