Thumb preview linklist?

Slacker · 2004-06-15, 07:23 PM

Anyone over thought of this?

Are there any?

What would be the pros and cons?

I saw one a few months back that was basically like a normal link list, with a small thumbnail on the left of the link/description.

Of course, I think the "thumb" part of things is pretty much for TGP's & galleries & not really for Link Lists & Free Sites.

I thought about it and then I thought of the fact that some of my categories have over a thousand listings and what have a thousand thumbs loading would do to the page. Anyway I want them to click on my sponsor links and not the free stuff. LOL

Could be worth a shot but I think that surfers clicking on a thumbnail will not enjoy going to a warning page. It just doesn't seem to make sense to me but I ain't got much sense.

I think it sounds like an interesting twist on things. That virexy-porn site look pretty nice I think.
But how about getting the thumbs in the database and uploaded to the server and what not. If I had to start the ftp client every time I think it would ruin the fun real quick.

I'm in the process of developing a linklist for myself, it's now nearing completion. At first I was going to create a thumbnailed linklist but decided against it for many of the reason listed above. I had already made the php function though, that could take a random picture from the gallery and crop and resize it, similar to the way arles does it's smart cropping. So it's definitely possible to automate it. I'm not sure how you'd do movie sites though.

There is a script out there that does it for link lists, http://www.phpwebscripts.com

I have something similar to this on a links list I'm developing. Links are listed in the usual way, but there is an option to click on details for each said link. Once a surfer clicks on details the script shows a screen cap - pulled from the site in question.

As someone mentioned, clicking on a thumb, only to get a warning page, might be a tad confusing.

Screen caps I think are more appropriate for free sites. It might also encourage more webmasters to pretty up their warning pages a little.
