FAQ: Preview Pictures Do I have to make it? No, it's made automatically after you post, from the first picture of the first gallery in your message. All topics haven't got a preview picture - why? The picture is taken only from galleries with direct links to jpg -images, not all fall into that category. What's even worse, some galleries are protected against hotlinking (what we're not doing!), so the script cannot save the picture. How do I know there will be a preview picture? You'll just have to post your topic and hope. If the #1 fails and you're posting many galleries, you may try changing their order. Hey.. now you can make thumbs of all galleries on the posts?! I tried that but they made the topics look a mess. An other reason is that servers almost crashed. :) However, I'm keeping that in my mind. I see 'this image is hotlinked' -pictures. You're hotlinking? No, we're certainly NOT. Just see image properties... they are coming from our servers. We don't use off-site thumbs, everything's 100% legal.

Vatsis,

The picture preview is an extremely useful feature. For the ones that work, it can help you sort through all the useless posts that are being posted and find the real teen girls.

Today 27 October all pictures are away why?
 
It is useful to have at all links the picture maybe aso the name/s so you mustn´t look at every link to know if you know this Girl or if you like to know more of her.
 
By some Girls nobody changed her name in the topic so you can´t find her with the search option (after weeks or months to look at each side is very awful). Maybe the moderators can change this in the future when the topic beginner don´t update the topic.

this still seems to be a 'bug'. if moderators change threadtitle, the whole thread jumps down 'somewhere' in the boards. so for time being threadtitles will not be changed. i agree with you it is much tidier to change the title once the girl has been identified; it's easier to browse through the boards. we have to choose from 2 bad options the least bad one. hopefully the original posters will change the threadtitle.

I love the site.  Recently I noticed that in a window that lists threads all the preview pictures are loading but the they resize to 0 width so every picture is just a vertical grey line about 2 pixels wide.

Is this only happening to me or is there an issue effecting everyone?

Keep up the good work.

i've found the cause of the problem, assuming yours is the same as the one i've been having lately. if you use firefox, and if you have the "redirect remover" extension, you need to whitelist (allow as an ok site) the following URL:

images2.finnteen.com

in ff 2.0, go to tools > add-ons and click on "options" under redirect remover. copy and paste the above URL into the "address of web site" and then click "don't clean". then click "ok" at the bottom to save the URL to your whitelist.

preview thumbs are snapshots of the first image in a tgp gallery (if the host allows it, you can use our great "thumbnail tester" tool created by Hunter27 here http://peachyforum.com/forums/storage/92/411663/TChecks.html to see)

only problem is "redirect remover" recognizes the code "remote_image.aspx?url=", which grabs the preview pic, as a redirect, and removes it, so all you see is that thin line. but if you whitelist the images2.finnteen.com host the preview thumbs should work.

Nice work!  You are good.  Some other people on the site were sure it was a finnteen block but we tried to add it as a trusted site to mozilla.  I didn;t relaize that redirect remover had trusted sites to  Doo!

Thanks surfing peachy without thumbs was a real bummer.

Cached preview images are 80 x 80 pixels while autogenerated ones are 84 x 84 pixels.  The difference in size is visible (take a look at the front page).  Is there any reason to this?

This has to do with general site settings.  A.f.a. I know setting is generally adapted to I.E. browsers, which may cause distorted images with other browsers (preview thumbs, avatars, attached pics etc)
