Personally, I liked the thumbnails better. Too much side-scrolling with the pictures makes them a pain in the ass to look at, IMO.

So what do you think?

Truthfully as I stated in another thread I was for the thumbnails myself.

Thumbnails
Makes threads much easier to skim through.

Since the forum has decided as of April 9th to make the limit for pics posted at 97.7 kb. for jpg, I will go with thumbnails. I cannot post larger pics easily anymore..I wish I could but the forum has decided to make the pics smaller, so I am forced to go with thumbnails as an alternative.

I prefer pics, but if you could re-size them to fit an upper limit, that would be ideal.

Is there a way to set the horizontal margins on a page so that uploaded pics require viewers to scroll down, not across?

I was looking for an option like that in the user CP.....couldn't find anything relevant, unless I missed something :confused:

I choose pics.Thumbnails are too small.reasonably sized pics are fine.the only trouble is that too many people post overly large pics,which even with screen set on highest resolution,still require you to scroll to see the pic.If it can be viewed complete on screen without scrolling it's fine.If you gotta scroll then it's too big.Those with overly large monitors need to consider that not all viewing the pics have big screens,especially if they are using a laptop.

It doesn't require a PHD to resize a pic.

I don't know if the vboard software allows it but some forums will auto scale down pics embedded in posts to whatever width the window size allows. Then you just click on it to go to full size. That way there is never any side-scrolling when browsing threads, yet no tiny thumbnails to squint at.

Pictures are much easier to view. If you want to see the unadultered full-scale thing, you should be going to the originating web site.

Thumbnails, no question. All this horizontal scrolling is a total pain in the ass.

The thumbnails are better, but they do need to be slightly bigger!

Both. Give us an option to choose, maybe in 'User CP' or something. :)

Sometimes I wanna just quickly skim through a thread, and sometimes I wanna see a plethora of babes up close.

But so long as the pictures have full quality and size I'm cool with whatever decision gets made.

Hmmm..I seemed to have overlooked an option in my poll.....:o
