thumbs size in kb
 

hi, I searched in the last 20 mins the board to find thread about this but didn`t found so I am going to ask:
whats the recommended size of thumbs in kb?is 11 kb ok or its too much?There is not rule about this, but what do u think?
and also using the word little in desc for the paysite?I read on a LL that its not allowed.
thanks in advance :)

Personally, I don't look at thumb-size. If the image looked distorted because the webmaster was forcing the full-size pic to dynamically resize in the browser, then I'd have issues with.

I've made some fairly beefy sized thumbs and have never heard of a problem with them, so my suggestion would be to not really worry about it but to pay more attention to the size of your full-size pics.

The word "little"? My guess would be the context with most places. Submit "this guy has a little cock" and no one's going to care. Use it to insinuate a young age and their would be issues.

I agree on the don't overly compress your thumbs, or just load your big pic thumb-sized.

I like the looks of bigger thumbs, so tend to use them. I've only had one link list owner ask me to to keep my thumbs under 10k, and I just stopped sumbitting to that list, because I like to use bigger thumbs. None of the bigger link lists, or anyone that posts on here that I submit to, has ever denied a site I submitted for thumbs that were too big KB wize.

Agreed, big'ish quality thumbs look purty |thumb

Something to consider though...depending on how many thumbs you have on a gallery, the page weight can add up quickly. Say you're running 20 pic free sites, so 10 thumbs per gallery...

10 thumbs at 10kb = 100kb page weight

And that's before you add in a paysite banner or any weight for your actual html code, so that page realistically is going to be in the 130kb range. That's getting a bit chubby, as I prefer to keep pages under 100kb total.

If you're running 30 pic free sites, well you get the idea...those numbers add up fast.

It's a balancing act to some degree...finding the best quality at the right size, while keeping an eye on overall page weight. Piece of cake |thumb

Heres one of my gallery pages I just built the other day. The thumbs are roughly 200w or 200h. The whole page is like 5KB max with banners, should give you an idea. http://www.want2cmypussy.com/camwebsite/gallery2.html

thank you all for your replies, I got the idea :)
