Hmmm... okay, so thumbs should be 89x119 or 81x121, each mouseclick should generate multiple new window spawns and then be the last click the surfer can control, new windows should all spawn blurred popunders, and all non-USA clicks should immediately be redirected to some foreign monetization program. Do I have that right..? ::grin::


Seriously though, Surfn and Wazza, thanks for the input, and we'll open the html thumb pages in the original window the surfer has open.

GeorgeTH - thanks for that feedback, I hadn't thought about the need for hardcore versus 2257-compliant thumbs.

I'll see about adding 110x150 thumbs too if that seems a popular size.

Right now it looks like people are using:

SQUARE
----------------
88x88
100x100
120x120
150x150 (anyone here use this?)

PORTRAIT
----------------
90x120
110x150

--> Are there any other popular Portrait sizes that we should add..?


So, what I'm hearing is that we may wind up needing half a dozen or more thumb sizes, and each of those sizes should have both a hardcore and a softcore (2257-compliant) version.

I guess this raises one new question.

I've seen tools that allow the webmaster to select one of the photos and make their own thumb right from their browser. What I'm wondering is if it would be better to offer a way to make your own sample thumbs, or if most webmasters would prefer to be able to just download some pre-made thumbs in the size they use?
