Most of my current images have not had anything changed and their thumbs were also left unaffected by the change (they were mostly 300x200 so I guess that's why).

However, the older stuff does not have the original thumbs I made but has the whole image resized. I hardly ever had the whole image as a thumb so I can immediately see that the older thumbs must have got lost in the shuffle.

I, personally, don't mind but I'm afraid my gallery is now against TOS as all those resized images that had nudity now show nudity in the thumbs as well - unless something has changed and nudity is now allowed. I don't expect to get a warning or get penalized in any way for that as I am not the one who uploaded those thumbs. But, to go searching through backups to find all the thumbs I've posted in the past 15 years is something I will not be doing. I hope this doesn't mean our images will be taken down.

Furthermore, on the upload page it clearly states the maximum for a thumb is 500 px and yet I have a resized (by you) thumb that is 290x580 pixels. With thumbs that size that show the entire image I doubt many people will click to see the image as they can get a quick idea just by scrolling through the thumbs.

The huge ad is still present on the right of our images so is that something that will definitely remain? Because if so, it is really a disservice to the artists who post. At least consider moving it further down so it doesn't interfere with the viewing of the image. And no, viewing in full size does nothing to make up for that as roughly 1/10 of the viewers viewed images in full size as I was able to ascertain when we had this information made available to us with the previous gallery. Most just see the compressed version.

I realize that your priority is the marketplace but don't forget how many vendors are paying promo artists to showcase their products in the galleries. Here's a thought: instead of the huge ad on the right why don't you have the vendor credits thumbs appear there instead of in between our image and the comments?
