So cropping on a per image basis isn’t a possibiliy.) You’re the second
person to mention this, so do you think it is that noticeable? Are there any
certian thumbs that show this clearly?

Well sure... the distortion mostly isn’t noticeable. If you can’t tell what the
pictures are showing, then what does it matter that they’re horizontally
squeezed?
Many of your thumbs are not very helpful at actually determining
what they take you to. In addition to the size issue, you don’t pick specific
images for the thumb- you just grab the first image from the gallery. Those
images aren’t always appropriate. From the model index, here are some
examples:
 YT-800: This
looks like one of those styrofoam-breast-looking things that you put over your
outside faucets in the winter to keep them from freezing.
 Bot Factory
MINI: Is that a 2x2 printed tile?
 Toshiro: This image just
doesn’t parse... until you know what it is, it’s really hard to find any lines
that make sense.
 Selkie:
Odd angle, hard to see what it is.
 Bardiel: When my kids were
in the NICU, they were in little clear boxes that look like this thumbnail
image.
...
Having a short text description would help a lot too- in alt text
if you don’t want the clutter. “The huge ship Bardiel”, “Q-Wing Fighter”,
“Jetpack”
