Robin, I am sorry you felt bad about the flow of conversation with that thread, it really was quite interesting and even though you felt your initial idea was shot down, that was not the case.
Members and Dave were going back and forth with input and ideas and eventually, Dave may have come up with some kind of a reasonable idea to make everyone happy.
We wished you had left your posts in that thread, it ended up not making any sense for any future input from other members. Oh well. If you ever feel that way again, perhaps a better way to remove yourself is to un-watch the thread entirely, I have done that myself and believe me, it often feels pretty good!
Or stick a butterfly shot in and then un-watch it.
And example of what I mean by main thumbnail, (for any unsure what thumbnails are, images in any entry are considered thumbnails, or smaller versions of the original image) .I selected the echinacea database since that is the current theme week. You can see the main thumbnail for each entry in the list, some may not have any thumbs-up, rather, they were the first images submitted, others were 'thumbed up' into their first position. If you scan down, you will see several bee and butterfly shots in the #1 main thumbnail positions, all fantastic and entirely appropriate as the blooms are still evident!
