I posted a nude.

Made a thumb of the face and hair no nudity in my thumb.

The PC made a auto thumb of the nude post.

It will do that if you "sized" your thumb incorrectly!!

Many of us are falling foul to the new conservatism around here.
Political correctness gone mad, if you ask me. Just who or what are they scared of?
Has the religious right that much influence in the US now?
Why not turn the whole site PG and be done with it.
Disneyosity, has a nice ring to it.

who or what they are scared of?

simple.
loss of money, income, bucks, ... take a look on paypal rules, for example.

what did you expect?
money makes the world go 'round ...

I was just telling Renderosity that I didn't post a nude thumb the PC did.

Don't want to get in trouble soon as I get started.

I damn sure wasn't trying to start yet another nude thread.

Renderosity pays the rent here so that set the rules here.

There's sites like Renderotica post all the nudes ya want.

Thay still set rules thou, since thay pay the rent.

Ya could get ya own site, no rules at all other then the rules you make.

This is the internet, go anywhere in the webs universe ya want,don't even need a spaceship.

RorrKonn, I've sent you a site mail.

If the system generates a thumb for you, all you need to do is press the "Edit" link under your post and upload a new one that is the correct size (between 100x100 and 200x200 pixels, and not larger than 15kb.)

Karen :-)

Any possibility on increasing the allowed KB for the thumbnail? I find that, due to the overhead of a JPEG file, that I often have to work like the dickens to get the thumb under 15K (usually reducing JPEG quality and cutting it down to 100x100), but that I can easily do a 150x150 at 18K.

If you have photoshop, aardvark, instead of saving, choose "save for web" and it will usually fit the kb size, if the image is saved at a min of 200x200

For Photoshop users, FYI, do not use the "Save As" (JPG) option, instead use the "Save for Web" option. This one does a much better job and has a 100 point quality scale instead of 10 point, letting you dial the file size very close to 15K. The results have less noise - must be a different algorithm. I used to produce really crappy thumbnails with the Save As, always having to go less than 150x150 to get good results and still under 15K.

Although I gotta say that, with the end-user able to choose how many thumbnails to show, would it not be reasonable to make the limit 20K instead of 15K? Even a dialup link should be able to handle that just fine.

These images were originally saved at 150 pixels wide. I expanded them here so you can easily see the difference.

The top one had to be saved at "Quality=1" to fit in 15K. The bottom one was saved at "Quality=90". Big difference.

Are you using Photoshop?

This is what I do.

Set up, crop (whatever you want to do to the image) and then File> Save for Web.
In that nice area in the lower right hand side there is a box with 2 tabs. Click the Image Size thingy there and enter the size you want. I usually drop a few pixels off the maximum form what the site says ( ie, 200x200 15 Kb I go 190x190). In the panel in the upper right select JPG or PNG (again what the site requires) and use the size slider to drop the percentage.

Check the image information in the bottom of the previews screens to see when you hit the maximum (or just below) size the site requires. Save the thumbnail. It should be the dimensions and size the site requires.

EDIT: Sheesh, I must type SLOOOOWW!
