Quote - Ok, so...again, what is upsetting about it, especially if the cropped thumbnail is, in fact, a part of the whole image that it leads to?  Is it that you're not getting the whole image up front?  Do you not like lead-ins? 
I'm not saying that any change will come of it.  Frankly, I like making my thumbnails cropped images of the whole piece.  But, that is me.

 

What's upsetting about it is taking away the options and forcing people to conform to certain opinions. I could care less how others do their thumbnails because it's their choice and I tolerate that, but apparently some can't return that and make their intolerance a blanket assertion on all the others. 

So even if you wanted to take advantage of the automatically generated thumbnails option, you couldn't now under the new rules, that's what's upsetting.
