**I can't believe the way this thread turned out, I was going to post earlier but my incentive just washed away.
Anyway, my 2 cents, it's the artists choice how they do their thumbnails. I personally do cropped, but this doesn't mean it's any better than a standard resize of the full image. I just prefer the 'teaser'. I understand both points of view, so it's just down to the individual.

**pjz99 & JenX - What are you two like? I think you should both have a few beers together & laugh it off!

SoCalRoberta - So sorry to hear this. I thought I was having a bad day but now I realise I'm not. I wish the best for your son.
