    I really like the thumbnails above the image. I feel like the below ones won't get noticed as much.

    I like the new look of the image viewer. 'Tis great to see that another window doesn't need to be opened to view another image. I mostly prefer the images being on top than on the bottom, though.

    I like the above version better. It seems to me that it is easier to see that way and you don't have to scroll all the way down. My computer specs:

    Haven't encountered any problems.

    I'm using Firefox 3.0.7 on Windows Vista. I'm not receiving any error messaes, but I would like to offer some feedback.

    I've seen a few comments similar to the one I quoted above. Have you considered adding an asynchronous response to thumbnail clicks (loading the selected full-size image without reloading the whole page)? In addition to being a nice touch from a UI/UX perspective, it would probably mitigate the scrolling issue for some users.

    Here's my plugged nickel's worth. Seems kinda slow - posting for each image - page can jump while it refreshes. Why not use AJAX and just refresh the image in a DIV. Would be faster.

    Overall - in its current incarnation - I don't really like the new image viewer. Don't like the forward/ back when you click to view full size either. Prefer the image viewer as is.

    Enhancement Request:The ability to page through all images in "Full Size" as opposed to selecting the image, then selecting "View Full Size" each time. In other words, once I'm on an image in "Full Size Mode" I just want to be able to hit Next or Back and see the next image in full size as well.

    General Feedback/Question: I'm not a web developer, so excuse the stupidity of this question, but why is it that the entire page reloads when I move from one image to the next? Is it possible to just update the image and keep the remainder of the page loaded? I think I've seen this on other sites and it seems much more efficient (for the user that is). Again, sorry if there's a valid technical answer to this question...which I'm sure there is. I'm using IE 7.
