 * Hi all
 * Was wondering if anyone has this problem. I’m running a twentytwelve child and
   getting complaints from surfers on low bandwidth connections concerning the way
   WP displays full images reduced in size in galleries instead of true thumbs. 
   If you have 20 or so images each 200 to 300 it would be a long wait for a low
   bandwidth connection.
 * Is this inherent in WP or is there some setting I can use to make it display 
   thumbs instead of reduced full images. Or baring that perhaps some plugin that
   will do it. I poked around in the plugin section a little without much luck.
 * Any help is much appreciated

 * Do you mean your theme is using the full image sizes as thumbnails, relying on
   browser scaling to display them thumbnail size? If that’s the case, that’s not
   right. WordPress should create a number of reduced sized images from your original
   upload to display them where appropriate, such as gallery thumbnails.
 * What’s your site URL so we can see the thumbnails?
