Homepage - Screenshot Uploads

Would the gentlemen or lady, who uploaded the thumblinks to the Screenshot Uploads area on the homepage, please reupload but this time at the correct pixel size, approx 150x112 not as at present 306x204.

On a technical point, are these pictures really screenshots? Whether they are or not, we do not all have the screen resolution set to 1280x1024 or whatever.

I like them that size ,John.Means i don`t have to strain these old eyes of mine.

I hasten to add,they are nothing to do with me.

i believe that the photographers digital camera takes very high resolutin shots which arent scaled down before upload (see the screenshots forum) - the full size picures are huge, and even the thumblinks are about 600x420

The thumbnail generator seems to generate a percentage of the original image size, rather than a fixed size. The latter would be better but presumably harder to program.

Actually it's easier to do the latter, and that's how the UKTS stuff works - all images are sized to 150 wide or 150 deep depending on which is the largest dimension.

Unfortunately Album wasn't written with this intuition in mind and yes, it sizes to something like 8% of the original or something like that.

The rewrite of Album in to ASP.NET as part of UKTS 2 will fix this and it too will be using the 150 wide or 150 deep rule.
