Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your response.
I am also a customer of photopost/classifieds/reviewpost and had exactly the same problem as the poster. Since two of us were confused by the instructions, or lack of instructions, I pointed out a possibility to reduce confusion in the future by improving the documentation.
As pointed out above, neither I nor the other customer wants to "save and display medium AND large images." We want a single size. The description "Save and display medium and large images? Y/N" is unclear because it isn't obvious what setting it to no will do. Will it save only medium images? Will it save only large images? Will it display only thumbs? The only thing that is clear is that setting it to YES will give you both.
It would be significantly clearer to describe that feature as
"Display thumbnails only?" if that's what it actually does.
When we talk about Medium and Large displays, there are four possibilities. The descriptions need to be clear enough to identify what setting it to yes or to no will do. It is not obvious. If someone asked you, "Chuck, do you speak Latin and Greek?" and you said "No!" it wouldn't be clear whether you spoke Latin but not Greek; Greek but not Latin; or neither language. All we'd know is that you didn't speak both.
I think a, general, helpful thing to do would be to include in the installation a help tip link next to each of the settings, similar to those you'll find in the Vbulletin admin options. There is a question mark that links to a popup window that describes exactly what that particular feature will do.
Regards,
Matt
