Thumbnails for an anime list, the same size as for favorites

(at least when you are checking your own, if you say it would cost a lot of bandwidth).
I just do not recall all animes by name, if you think you do not need it, lucky you: still a lot good stuff to watch or a good memory.

Actually, I just like to see, not to read what I have watched. I am sure you like to watch/see too, otherwise you haven't visited this site. :)

And it is just faster to proceed when looking through the list...

For quick access of your own list, you can click the Edit link next to 'My Anime List' in your panel.

Doesn't strike me as a particularly great idea since in all likelyhood the pictures people will upload as thumbnails will mostly suck. :\ It's not that difficult to remember names.

yes, thumbnails in the list (sorry if it was not very clearly formulated)

Why upload, we have them already

do you recognize it?

Well, and lucky you that you remember them all, so we can remove them also from your favorites, those you remember for sure :)

It is just for different people, I would prefer to have a small thumbnail because I like it this way.
So it could be done optional where I select to have thumbnails, you don't do anything (if it is set as default) - further customization of your list.



P.S.
Asako,
You definitely have a lot of time to remember all the names when you are watching completely even those series which you give "Unwatchable" or "Horrible" rating.

I like this idea, especially for those series which are listed under the Japanese title but you watched under the English title.

Oh. Those are hardly what I'd call thumbnials, more icons to me. Most of them are too small to even make out what they are, anyway.

As I mention in my profile, my list is only series I actually have on DVD or fansub, and most entries under 5 are things that were given to me and I was obligated to watch. They're not things I'd have continued watching otherwise, and I don't list dropped series. My list is my collection, not stuff I've simply seen.

I see, still keeping something like this in the collection...
So, instead of thumbnails you have already DVD covers, ;)

Well, I better mind my business.

Why not? I'm not going to throw away a DVD box set, and if it's just burned fansubs I'll toss it on a spindle and forget about it.

Oh god no. Stylized lists already take a while to load and lag my browser. I don't need icons to make it worse.

How does a tiny little 24x32 icon help you identify an anime when almost all of them are some much larger image scaled down with all detail lost? If you don't remember a title on your list... click on it? It'll take you to the info page with a synopsis and large title image (which is probably where the fav icons come from)

Now, if you were talking about entirely new thumbnails, in > 100x100, I'd see your point, but really. Seems so unnecessary.

even if you were using it, you still need to read them (and before it, to think over what to write...)
how would you see what is the difference between two entries as comedy...
one picture is better than 1000 words (even if it is a small one (*^_^*) )
