There are a lot of options.
Set the thumbnail size to 60 and rebuild them.
You need to change the CSS that governs the way thumbnails appear on the comments page until it suits you. Look at .exhibit_thumbs and .ex_thumb in the exhibit.css file.
You also must change the config file (exhibit10.cfg) so that thumbs_at_top is true, not false.
I don’t think there is a way to rid yourself of the captions, though, so I would set your default caption to ” (nothing) in the config file, and erase the captions for existing images if you don’t want them.

ok, i managed almost everything, but how to make the thumbs smaller i didn’t get. please have a look here http://www.dexteressentials.com/blog/index.php?p=1#comments again
thanks,

In the config file, look for thumb_width and thumb_height. Set these to 60. Go to the file picker in one of your posts and click the [rebuild] link in the directory that has those images. Exhibit will rebuild your thumbnail files at a smaller size.

ok, again me.
after solving the thumbs problem and finding my way into the code of exhibit.php i still wonder why, for instance, the thumbs are displayed different (or better: with different code) on the “main page” and on the “main page with comments area”.
this has not just something to do with formating, but with whether a thumb shoul’d appear or not. for instance here: http://www.dexteressentials.com/blog/index.php the big dark picture with the white border is not in the thumbs (intended by not checking “preview” in the “edit post” area.) but here http://www.dexteressentials.com/blog/index.php?p=2#comments it suddenly appears.
owen, what are your plans? do you think you will make the comments area using the same settings like the main page or should i hack it myself into the code (and break upgradebility)?
thanks for you great work, btw 🙂

The intent is that the preview images show a preview of the images that are inside the actual post. Not everyone (myself included) wants to show all of the pictures in a post on the home page.
That said, if you want all of the thumbnails that are attached to your post to appear as previews, then check all of the preview buttons.
There is currently no way to default the settings so that every image starts with the preview checkbox checked. I will consider this for a future release.
