I really dislike the new image flash-thingy that is on Motherless now...
It disables to click with the mouse-wheel to open the image in a new tab.
Can you enable that function or else bring back the old thumbnails?

P.S. and the pages are larger than 1024 so it won't fit in my cute netbook screen anymore.
hey if your using fire fox hold ctrl and wheel up or down to zoom screen that will let u fit it all on screen
I second this request! There's no need to make an image bigger when you hover it, anyway.
Just click the image/vid normally and it will open in a new tab automatically..
The middle-button opens the tab in the background, so I can click all the images I want to see, without leaving the gallery page.

I agree with your statement if it is truely impossible to bring this functionality back in the new design. Simply saying "live with it" to the users who used this function, without trying to bring it back or think about it, is a bit harsh don't you agree? :) Are you the webmaster?
Me quoting Abraham Lincoln was not meant to be 'harsh'..i merely meant that not everyone will be happy with the changes no matter what we do..
Please bear in mind that the changes are new and there's always a period of debugging and tweaking that takes place after they're launched in order to make them as user friendly as possible..

Never fear a solution is near..
Seems like the tab issue is now fixed :)
I agree - the old thumbnails seemed to load quicker and reliably displayed "alt" hover-over description text.
You are so right. The new "design" is annoying by a lot of points.
1) Overloaded pages.
You can't see 15 thumbnails, there is one big coloured picture your eye has to seperate in little pictures in a stressful procudere itself. It would be really better to "view" by smaller thumbnails with some space between. As it had been before.
2) Slow motion
Whereever the mouse rests - instantly you get a "loading circle" and a bigger thumbnail gets reloaded and pops out, moving your eye focus to this place, even if you wanted to watch something else on the page and getting the mouse pointer out ouf my eyes focus. This re-grabs the focus making stress to ones eyes und by loading new thumbnails in a slightly different size makes the feeling of the site completely slow.
Solution: No "popping" thumbnails. One thumbnailsize, and they have to loaded with the page, not afterwards. As it had been before.
3) Cutted thumbnails
I can't preview "interesting" parts of an image by viewing its thumbnail, because the small thumbnail cuts of edges of images. You have to place your mouse over a possible interesting pic and wait some seconds to re-load bigger thumbnails. Sense of thumbnails should be to preview the whole picture without additional user interaction.
Solution: Don't cut thumbnails just to fill the thumbnail-field allover with colors. As it had been before.
4) Video-previews
The video preview is too slow in my oppinion. The pictures should change a little bit faster. And the previews should start to preload after loading a page, so users may have some luck and can preview the video by moving the mouse over it without long waiting for loading the preview on every single thumbnail. Other video sites are proving this is often possible, even with about 40-50 video previes on a search page.
I liked the video preview before, some bug-fixes would have been better than completely "redesing" the whole site and making the usability awful to the users.
5) Watching videos
Uh yeah! One thing that really needed an update. I love the new player. It loads fast, can jump to other times in the video without waiting for the whole video to load.
Yes! Please keep the new video player and revert any other "updates" on the site. They are not improvements, they are really bad mistakes.
I support all the requests and complains here too!!. MOTHERLESS please come back to normalcy. What happen to u guys? Why has everything changed to the worst.
