I noticed that when we post thumbnail sketches, they stay at their original size. Is there anyway to do that with Free Stuff thumbnails? My thumbnails look horrible on this site as they get pulled like taffy. (They look fine at original resolution.) I don't want to create two thumbnails: one for my site and one for Renderosity. Of course, the distortions probably discourage people from downloading my stuff, saving me bandwidth, but since I post it, I might as well encourage them to download it. BTW: if we make changes to something we post to the Free Stuff section, does it get bumped to the front or stay where it is? I hope it stays where it was, like the gallery items do. Thanks for reading this!

It's a bit of a pain. I'm trying to conserve space as I pay for my site and bandwidth. If I have two thumbnails, that's more space on the server and more files I have to keep track of. Since Renderosity points people to the images on my site, that's bandwidth I pay for and at a higher file size than I use for my own site. And yes - I hate enormous thumbnails, too, and I have a cable connection. The only reason I made the request is that the Gallery already keeps the original size for thumbnails, so I'm hoping that getting the Free Stuff to do the same won't take much effort. If it does, then I gladly withdraw my request. Thanks for letting me know about the updating.

Rendorisity always requests the thumbnails be resized to a standard size, no matter what this does to the original aspect ration. I believe a minor change to the HTML tags will allow resizing to a certain box, while maintaining the original aspect, but HTML isn't my strong point.
