It's hard to say for me really, as I was building bits here and there while also playing around with the AI and actbusy system. Hours as opposed to minutes though, probably a few hours or something mucking around with the actual structure, lighting, props and textures.

And goodnight by the way
Must be cause the thumb loaded quick, and the image took normal time.
Lots of orange turf you got in that one bud. " SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

Is this alright?

My point is, people don't use it that way. The only times I've ever seen that used is where people don't make a seperate thumbnail image ... so it just resizes the large ass image to a small resolution.

Ah, thanks Crono and Orpheus, I see now. I'll be sure to use the imageshack thumbnail code if I post anything here.

Lep coded two examples of posting screenshots.
One is the example Crono says, where it resizes the dimensions to 800x600, but the file size remains the same.
The other is actual code where you post 2 screens, one a full size, and the other a thumbnail size.
You link to the thumb at say 10k, and the thumb links to the full image say 110k.
the code was made specifically for 56k users ages ago, but is seldom used.
[ thumb=thumb.jpg]big.jpg[ /thumb] (remove the spaces.)
The only drawback is having a location to post both images and the actual creating of the images before hand. Other than that, it works great.

If the thumbnail is a new picture which is significantly less file size: yes. If you use the snarkpit "optimization", NO, it just resizes the image (as far as I can tell), so you're still loading a 100 KB image (or something like that)
Just saying "make a thumbnail" doesn't mean much if you don't realize that resolution and file size aren't a 1:1 ratio to each other.
Anyway, I'll try posting some stuff in the next few weeks. Have a bit of work to get done first.

Basically -- if I post a thumbnail, does it make you cache the whole image first before it displays the small thumbnail? In other words, does it actually help to have thumbs?

I am not exactly sure what you said but, there are a s**tload of thumbnail generators out there that do a wonderful job. Whats the problem uploading two images and using the snarkpit codes to utilize them?
