After an word or two with Cindy, I decided to upload thumbs with the entire image. Sure, that is small. One reason is download times of some posters who do not have dialup connections...they simply cannot spend time to wait for downloads for an image they are not "drawn to" and the entire image seems to do that best, overall. That has been my experience since loading up full image thumbs. When an image is obviously very tightly cropped and "you know" that is not all of the pic, unless very intriguging I skip it..again, a matter of how many I can actually take the time to view while getting ready to go to work in the mornings! Highlight as you wish to make the thumbnail interesting but remember it must be enough to catch attention for the full image to be "clicked" and viewed. God Bless and Peace to All. TomDart.
