I've gone through and added headers to each of the conversations on this page so that it's easier to navigate. Some of them duplicate one another, but I won't presume to rearrange other people's comments just yet. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 21:10, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

: No such problem in my current version of Opera 7.50 preview. [[User:Darkelf|Jo]][[User talk:Darkelf|'''r''']] 17:19, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

: Take a look at the front page of wikipedia on the Macintosh version of Internet explorer 5. It looks terrible, but it works fine on every other browser so we haven't done anything about it. Perhaps you could find another browser(s)? Mabye one that is open source. <s>Or, you could just use Internet explorer 6</s>. Sennheiser cringes at this suggestion, deciding to strike it out and replace it with an advertisement for the Mozilla [[firebird (browser)|Firebird]] .7 browser.

==Delete "thumbs"?==

Line 319 ⟶ 321:

==Magnifying glass and IE6==

There is a white box around the magnifying glass in internet explorer making it hardly asthetically pleasing. No one should be using internet explorer(except at public libraries), though so I don't know if this is our problem.

: It buggers up in Opera 6.x also. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]] 18:00, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

<div style="float:right; margin-left:15px; margin-right:10px; width:252px; text-align:center">

<small>''Manual thumbnail''.<br/></small>

</small></div>

I have a problem with the new thumbnail code. It just doesn't produce a quality result. Compare the two images. The difference speaks for itself. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]]

(More discussion follows, but the bottom line is that the auto-generated thumbnails simply don't result in a quality image. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]] 18:00, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC))

:What resample filter did you use when you resized it manually? [[User:Sennheiser|--Sennheiser]]'''[[User talk:Sennheiser|!]]''']] 21:46, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:: I didn't use Photoshop. Doubtless a proper Photoshop jockey could do a substantially better job. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]]

:::What did you use? I use the GIMP to resize my images. [[User:Sennheiser|--Sennheiser]]'''[[User talk:Sennheiser|!]]''']] 21:50, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

There's probably room for improvement. Right now we use [[ImageMagick]] with the option "-geometry [width]". The image blow was created with the additional option "-sharpen 1":

==Unexpected performance==

I didn't even mean for the image on [[Unit 731]] to be in the space it showed up in, but it fits perfectly!. [[User:Sennheiser|--Sennheiser]]'''[[User talk:Sennheiser|!]]''']] 00:06, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:::Thanks again for being patient. Good tip on surrounding the whole thing with italic markup--didn't think of that (didn't know it would work). I did vote as you suggested. :-) And as for the xtra table width--it's displaying correctly now, so someone must have fixed something. [[User:Elf|Elf]] 19:26, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

== Copy edits ==

* The line:

<blockquote>

The empty string, if there an explicitly requested Caption and the image type has a visible caption.

</blockquote>

is missing an "''is''" between ''there'' and ''an''.

* Also, in the sentence:

<blockquote>

...and examples 2 and 3 provide no navigatable links to the files themselves...

</blockquote>

"''navigatable''" is not a word; the correct word is ''navigable''. (Wiktionary does include ''navigatable'', defining it in a strictly web-related sense; however, I could find no other [free] online dictionary&mdash;and I was thorough, checking the free dictionaries at www.merriam-webster.com, www.oxforddictionaries.com, dictionary.cambridge.org, www.thefreedictionary.com, and dictionary.com (alias dictionary.reference.com)&mdash;that included ''navigatable''; they all included ''navigable''.)

I can't make these edits because the page is protected (so I'm noting the errors here, the next best thing).
