Are you being serious??
Do you go into threads unsure if you actually want to see images? Do you really feel you would appreciate the option of not seeing full size images?
Modeling is an inherently visual activity. Most of us come to this forum and enter threads
because we want to see pics of models! If you're really different in this regard, please feel free to say so
. But if you've decided to enter a thread, why would you not want to see the images- do you really get something out of making that choice again and again?
It takes more time and effort to click
each freaking image and wait for it to load than it does to simply have them all load in full size.

The fact that something was decided YEARS AGO doesn't mean that it can't be updated or changed in order to suit also the members who read and post NOW in the forum.

Every community has its rules and conventions. People here expect to see images when they go into threads.
We obviously can, will, and do change the rules and/or conventions here if there is reason. But until there is reason for change, we will continue to do as we have done, because what we have done has continued to work.
I haven't seen
anyone say- "hey, great site, I just wish I didn't have to look at pics of builds I want to see."
Have you? Is this your experience here? Do you
really see some need to change?

It certainly does in the US!
But we're simply trying to avoid devolution.
If you (or any other member here) have a real and strong preference to see thumbnails,
please feel free to say so. If/when we ever have a strong number of people who really believe that their experiences here would be significantly improved by a change, we will discuss and consider it. Meanwhile please have the courtesy to follow the guidelines here, and provide your viewers what they expect when they view your posts.
