Thread thumbnails

**bakbek** · 12-23-2009, 10:36 PM

Hi, I've added the ability for you to choose a thread thumbnail... to add it you need to copy paste the image URL to the proper field above the text edit box.

What i suggest is that you copy paste the URL of your latest attachment in your thread representing the latest progress so that the thumbnail will convey that even before one enters your thread just by looking at it.

It is experimental stuff so feedback is appreciated... like it? don't like it? work ok? has bugs? and so on

Thanks.

I had to click edit on the post to see the thumbnail option, put in the link, but nothing happens

Can it be on any post or does it have to be on the first one?

Well, it seems it has to be done on the first post; works now

Thread thumbnails temporarily disabled due to some server overload... checking if this is the reason.

Still disabled? What gives?!

Was a lot easier to navigate with thumbnails, also, its kinda enticing and exciting to see a preview of the several diffierent entries and colour palette of options.

Yep, I know... Sorry about that - the script that is doing that specific thing apparently takes up a lot of system resources and has a very big impact on site performance.

I'm trying to make it automatic as much as possible - but it seems the best solution currently will be for members to add the link for a thumbnail version of the image they want in the proper field same as before manually.

The feature will be up again in a day or two after I sort out some new options I have in testing.
