Well, as a long time surfer of the galleries, since the changeover I have noticed a certain increase in the speed at which I am able to view galleries with the resized'  images. I feel that, and I don't know if they do,even the  'resized' images ought to count as a view, with a lot there's no real need to go to the large as the re sized one clarifies what the thumb hinted at..LOL, and I often have no need/interest in wasting time loading an image potentially too large to be viewed without scrolling, the main reason I like the re sized thing...so TerraDreamer, you might just be suprised as a lot of folks out here are in fact resource deprived and don't wish to spend those few resources loading huge graphics...talkin' mainly about dial up which as I recently found out is not yet 'universal' ,heh heh heh

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
