subject ought to be "rule of thumbnail shots". for there are many rules of thumbs in the art of photography. if the thumbnails are bothersome here in the photo fourm or gallery. talk to the Admins , i'm sure they will take there months of time to solve their problem. if you shoot a perfect shot, you really shouldn't have to crop it because of their thumbnail rule. thats one reason i never post here any more and have my own site. where people can see the the big thumbnails and really see the big shots, without the cropping. don't be surprise if they change the rules on you again, like they have before.
