the third point sounds good when it works. at least the download of a pic should be more important than the possibility to zoom in. I think the most members have a program on their PC to do such things like zooming, ACDSee for example.
Agreed. There are plenty of freeware apps out there for image viewing.
personally, I think that this is a bad move for lazygirls for several reasons:
1: My browser has trouble with Flash objects, I have to enable all sorts of scripts and whatnot to even see them.
2: Zoom is unnessecary; if I want to zoom a picture, I can save it and use my photo viewer. Everyone has one of these, nobody needs zoom in their browser.
3: It adds another click and pageload to get to the pic. My page load speed is fairly slow because I always have 100kb/s torrents running, so even one more click is a pretty big thorn in my side.
4: Most important of all" "If it ain't broke don't fix it." There wasn't anything wrong with the old system, it was elegant in it's simplicity. Lazygirls was a great, easy to use site before. Don't gild the lily and spoil the broth ny messing wiith perfection (I realize I'm mixing my metaphors).
In conclusion, I would really prefer the old ways, and I'm sure many of my fellow Lazygirls members would agree. I have the utmost appreciation for Sam and every one else that keeps this great site going, and the site owner has the final say on his own site, but I would surely appreciate an option to restore "Classic Lazygirls" without the flash and the Youtube vids, and I'm sure that many others would also prefer it. Please consider these words, and thank you for your time in reading this long post.

But if your not a member you can't change the options, and they all 3 will be on by default.
sweet thanks sam
Expect these new options in the next week.
