tiny thumbnails are ridiculous

igrok

For such a great photo posting tool, this has to be the most painful restriction. I don't understand why the powers that be limit the size of thumbnails on the home page to 100x100 once you have more than 5 galleries. There are all sorts of great tools here on smugmug, but frankly these small thumbnails ruin the entire experience for me. I've searched and see that many others have also encountered this limitation, but without any easy way to improve things. Yes, it's nice to be able to use categories to ease the congestion of many galleries, but even zenfolio allows a choice of different sizes, albeit limited to 200x200. I'd like even larger, but 200x200 is still 4 times larger than here at smugmug and makes arriving at the homepage a much nicer experience.

Does anyone have a simple solution? Is smugmug working on this?

Amen, although I don't wanna get disgruntled about anything here right now because I'm so happy that we have a gazillion new themes to try out! The small thumbs are so much more apparent now that so many of us have large screens, stretchy themes, etc. Surely changes must be coming sometime, but I don't really know. Yes, even larger than 200 X 200 would be grand!
