Quality of photo thumbnails in posts - Aquarium Advice

Kurt_Nelson · 11-12-2007, 12:11 AM

Since the "reboot" of the site over to the different server, it seems like all the thumbnailed images that are included on posts are really bad. Not only are they super low resolution, the color is all whacked out. Is there some setting that didn't get switched when the site got put back up? Just curious... normally the thumbnail would suffice, but now I have to click on it to view the full size image to see it correctly.

Technically it was a hard drive swap because the primary drive was failing. Unless this has been going on for a few months.

Try again and also please link me to an example.

I too have noticed this. I haven't had time to post about it or link to it. I can provide a screenshot if need be. I thought it was my computer.

Yup... those two examples are what I'm seeing. Just started after the hard drive swap.

We are looking into the software used to create the thumbnails, it looks like they are just way over compressed causing posterization. Due to the disk swap out I do not have access to that software right now, so hopefully Aaron will get around to it shortly, if he hasn't already.

Thanks Anne, I was going to post my thread also as I noticed that a week ago. If you click on the pic then the real pic shows up.

It's always good to know it isn't just one computer. Glad that it is something that Aaron can fix.
