What's up with "Attached Thumbnails"?
It seems that now when there are picture attachments they are displayed as thumbnails. Or worse, as links. I liked the old way where you could just scroll through the thread and see the images in their entirety. The thumbnails are a good idea for low bandwidth connection, but is there some way to choose to see full images instead?

I like them this way- just my opinion but I have my own T1 line and when I even have to wait for some of those crazy images to load that is a little too much! but an option would be nice I suppose

I agree with nubo. With thumbnails now, I need to click on every image. But I also understand the download time for 56k users.
Is there any way you could make this an user option instead? Say in the user control panel, I have an option to whether display images in full size or thumbnail?
Thanx

FYI, it looks like the forced-thumbnail can be bypassed by putting your image on another web site and embedding the following in your message (except use brackets rather than braces):

So while there is some gain for dial-in users it is not 100%. Check out the following as an example posted today.
