==Don't like it==
I'm sorry, but I really don't like this new thimbnail thing and I'm going to be very rude about it for which I apologise in advance. The magnifying glass icon is just horrible. Having it stuck in the bottom right corner pushes the caption to one side making them (and the whole picture) look lobsided. The [[Hutton Inquiry]] just looks awful. Can we not make it look more like a normal image and have an ''[[enlarge]]'' link underneath above or somewhere else other than stuck in the corner?

:I don't like it either. This new syntax doesn't do what I want at all. Nearly all of the articles to which I've added images merely want an image to the left or right, with the text wrapped around, and a caption. The new syntax just clutters the page, in fact I find it downright ugly.
 
:It may work really well for taxboxes and the like where the size of the image is strictly limited, and linking to a larger version is good. But IMO there's still a need for a new syntax to do the simple things more simply.
 
:Maybe this one can be extended to do it, but it sounds a risk, doesn't it? Maybe better to start from the ground up, and [[KISS Principle|KISS]]. Meantime I guess I have no choice but to continue using the old method. Pity. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 02:40, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
