We have recently been wondering if the size of the thumbnails for attached pictures should be changed. Currently the maximum dimension is 120 pixels and we wonder if this should be made bigger. Maybe up to 200 pixels?

The downside is that this will take a little more space to store (although not much I think) and that those people with a modem will find the threads with pictures take a little longer to display.

The upside obviously is that the pictures will be clearer without needing to click on them to get the full sized image displayed.

Let us know what you think by voting above and reply if you wish to give specific feedback.

Note that if an image is less that 400 pixels wide or high you can edit the post and delete the thumbnail and the image will be displayed instead of the thumbnail. However, if you do this and the picture is bigger than this the thumbnail will be replaced by a link which will open the image in another window as it is when you click on the thumbnail now.

Since the poll seems to indicate more people would like the thumbnails to be a little larger than not I have taken the opportunity to make this change whilst I was doing an upgrade.

It is simple to undo if opinion swings the other way.

Please note that existing thumbnails will not change size, but new thumbnails will be up to 200 pixels wide/high.

The bigger the better!!

But I'm aware some people dont have broadband so it could cause them some time...

How about a Gallery????

A gallery would be excellent. Especially helpful for identifying birds. OR could we have two Question

One for "can you identify this bird?" and one for other pics.

On the other hand - John may need his holiday to recover from this suggestion Exclamation
