I would prefer to see thumbnails in my challenge history rather than titles. I would of course, also prefer it in others--When you visit their profile page, it takes a lot of effort to see anything other than their top 5 photos. Why not put a thumbnail instead of the title?

Oh, good idea!

Awesome idea!

On word - dial-up. Maybe a preference so you can have titles or thumbnails.

It takes long enough for me to load a profile page of someone who has entered more than 20 challenges, and I have a high-speed connection. Adding thumbnails to all of those would at least double the page loading time. I would only like this idea if it can be switched on and off in preferences.

Something might be wrong with your connection/settings. I've entered 20 challenges too and if I load my profile page and force a refresh, it takes less than a second to completely refresh with IE in Windows XP SP2. Unless somewhat less than a second is too slow for you... :p

I was guessing at the number 20, but it seems about right. It takes me about 5 or 6 seconds each time to load and reload your profile page, Ara, which is an eternity in DSL time! ;-) I'm mainly wondering what that connection speed would be like with thumbnails for people on dialup.

I actually like the suggestion of making thumbnails available on profile pages, but it would probably be prohibitively slow for anyone on 56K.

It's also a matter of machine speed. My desktop does the reload in less than a second, but my "maybe you should use it as a doorstop" laptop loads slower than your 5-6 seconds. Virtually same broadband speed but much longer render time.

I would love the thumbnail feature. Also a sort by column feature, which I have been told is "On the list."

Why not have that option in your preferences?
