Hmm, I think it would be better if the forum let the user to choose the image and not take the first picture on the first post (that could be not what you want to show to others)

I did see the new images feature some days ago. It was in the left of the screen and I thought it was nice. Today I did come here again, and it is in the middle and all the topics/threads list seems to be messed up! (6_9)

I'd preffer it in the left side, with an image as small as the topic's icons.

You know, I really don't see how these thumbnails helps me see anything of value.

You know what would actually be very useful? If instead of that thumbnail, people could select what kind of mod this is. I've seen this in the official Unreal Tournament forums, where next to every topic you could see Map, Mutator, etc. Whatever word was there was FAR more descriptive and helpful than a little picture that stretches every line needlessly to showcase a barely distinguishable image.

Just my two cents.

I like that idea.

Something like Gameplay Modifier, Total Conversion, Single Map, Partial Conversion. Yeah, that'd be much better.

I dunno. There really aren't that many mods. I'm pretty sure that I could remember what all the ones on the current first page of projects are without any prompting. We also don't have that many different types of projects and, for the most part, I don't really care what kind of project they are anyway because I'm interested in them all. :P There is nothing stopping a thread starter using things like [Map], [TC] etc in the title right now anyway.
