thumbs size in kb

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

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
