 * I would like to go on record that this is an excellent plugin!
 * I would like to ask the breeders would improve the picture quality in thumbs,
   as it is very compressed?
 * Thank you.

 * I don’t know if this plugin is still supported, but I wanted to throw out there
   that I definitely agree with the need for increased quality of the thumbnails.
   Also moriah.com.br, if you ended up finding a solution to this problem already,
   I would definitely appreciate you sending it my way!

 * Hey guys,
 * Go to the Tumbnail tab, and alter the area that says “Tumbnail Width” which actually
   doesn’t control the width at all, but rather the quality. I put mine up to 480
   and they got really sharp.

 * Colin Poole, you are a genius! Worked like a charm, and I definitely appreciate
   you taking the time to add your response to this thread. They really need to 
   change the “Thumbnail Width” to “Thumbnail Quality” haha

 * No problem! Right now I’m working on adding the ability to paginate/side scroll
   like you do on YouTube, and as I explore the code I’m finding many quirky things.
 * From what I can tell it may be the width at which it IMPORTS the images, which
   then get scaled down to the correct size based on your columns, which sadly were
   written to be static. So I had 4 columns; the code has static width % set for
   1 – 10 columns (if you go beyond 10 you need to add more lines to the source 
   code manually – this is also the location you can alter to set fixed widths);
   my image width was set to “70” so it was importing the static image at 70px wide
   and then scaling UP to 199px (which was the 25% width from my 4 column output).
 * I think when I set the image width to 480 it changed the IMPORT of the static
   image at 480px, and then scaled DOWN to 199px, making the image look great.
 * I’m starting to learn this thing decently as I customize it, so any other questions
   hit me up and I’ll see if I know anything.
 * PS. I haven’t done web code in 12 years, my last website went offline in 2003,
   so assume my skills are VERY novice! 🙂
