Misleading links.. 2 in a row?? Cleo

From personal experience, and from seeing many similar posts asking the same question, I think I've finally wrapped my brain around the "Cleo vs. misleading links" quandry. Basically, if you have anything that resembles a thumbnail--even if it's a different size than your actual gallery thumbnails--and is clickable, it can't go to anything other than a full sized picture.
Your first site has thumbnail-type pics in the upper corners of both galleries that lead to the sponsor site. I'm gonna guess that's the no-no on that one.
Site #2 has banners with thumbnail-type pics on them.
Basically, variations on this rule are pretty common, but Cleo and Luna are a bit more stringent in their interpretation of what constitutes a misleading, thumbnail-looking graphic. Once I started being more selective about what to make clickable (ie. only the bottom half, say, of a banner with small squarish pics on the top half), I stopped getting the "misleading" declines. Hope that helps.
