Talking about illimatinating the GD thumbnail all together.

Some sites like deiviant art require users to upload a thumbnail, but that is only on certain formats.

I suppose your thinking is users could create nicer thumbnails rather than a smashed image?

I know I post over on aqua-soft and people always make thier own thumbnails to like to full size images.

I would image the most difficult thing here would be telling mysql that image A links to image B and how to identify the image if they are named differently.
