I poked around but didn't find the instructions for how to submit an
image. I noticed that images in the set database are shown at around
400x300, 200x150 and 80x60, so I created those sizes. Do you auto-scale
images on the fly for small views and thumbnail views? Do you have a
target for how big the images should be? Mine are 39K, 9K and 2.5K; are
these the sizes you're looking for?

thanks!  picture uploaded.  From what I know, the thumbnails are
generated automagically by the server...  so the original should be (imo)
as large as is reasonable... so when people do want to see more detail
than the thumbnail, they should have it all available.  Before we upload
anything to the database, we do check it and resize it (to a smaller size)
if needed.  I guess I usually try to get the width of the picture around
400-500, but that's just me...

Thanks again!
