Why are my last two thumbnails so Huge?
Thursday, August 1, 2002 by mormegil | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I posted two skins last night, using the same methods I always do, and for some reason the thumbnails are huge, 100% is this something I did? Anyone know...

Besides, it's not the size that matters, but how you use them...or so I hear...

The "thumbnails" don't allow for a "complete" view either....bummer

I'm not an admin, so the best I can do is guess, I think there is some problem with the algortihm they use to convert the preview jpgs to thumbnails... I had the same problem with a wall I just submitted... who knows, could be someone spilled some chocolate milk on a server or something, just a guess.

what I do is make the thumbnail a small file size and dimention (like resize the 1024 by 768 by 50 percent) Then where it asks for the file of the skin just put the skin in. (or in the case of a wallpaper put the original file or zip in)
In any case the preview file (if not resized 50%) could also be saved in JPEG format but under a lower quality. Maybe that will help.

you know, I was checking out a wallpaper BoXXi did the other day, and it brought up the page with the image about 500px high and 40 px wide. I refreshed and it was still tall and thin...made no sense, since the image resolution was called out at 1024x768...dunno
maybe all the renegade 1337 H4X0RZ are getting back at us...

Hi mormegil 
I am having the same problem with some of my works!
I have choose the folowing solution to fix the thumbnails:
I checked out the size of some works that they have normal thumbnail and I have resize the previews of my works with the same size as the ones that they have a good preview.
