Another site I visit regularly, offers the option when you up-load the photo, to have the thumbnail square or rectangular where the photo is not truncated. Why can't EPZ do that? We pay for our membership so why can't we get what we think is "visually pleasing"?
Square thumbnails were rejected some time ago, why are you trying to introduce this now?
Quote: It's in a really intrusive place and totally unnecessary to be directly underneath the big pictures.
You can hide it in options 
But I used the strip before all the time when it was good. So now I either have to hide it or put up with this inferior version. It's not fair.

Yes...that there is not one item in life that all would agree on...

If you used it before didn't you have to actually scroll more? You're just doing it in a different order and once you're used to it will actually be a time saver.

CB doesn't agree on that

We are not sacrificing quality at all in our main gallery browser which is all most other sites have - all the gallery pages will remain correctly sized. This is just an extra tool we provided in V5.

C'est la vie
Quote: I think what people are objecting to is the cropping of their landscape-format photos...
Why can't Pete understand this from paying members?
Quote: What it does now is rather than go one at a time you can look at any one of the strip and then when you click it's the next ones as a set...that makes it quicker to use rather than clicking eight times to go from 9 - 16 if you're viewing a strip of eight. Now you get 1-8 click 9-16 rather than 1-8, 2-9, 3-10, 4-11 and so on.
I'm not a fan myself, if I see something that is clearly styled as a scroller i expect it to scroll. Instead it fades in and out.
If the new pics slid in from the side I could understand it but fading in & out just seems weird.
Square thumbnails are nice
Well, I am getting 18 thumbnails in the filmstrip and it is bring up the next batch almost instantaneously... very quick indeed
So, if I open one of my PF images it makes it easier "scrolling" back in time than looking at the "grid" and going back page by page.
Therefore for me this new feature gets a Thumbs Up
Oh, and the Lights Out option also gets a Thumbs Up as well !
