I agree as well... although it is no longer a major problem for me. When I first started frequenting this site I was stuck on a 56k, and the thumbnail size was an annoyance, especially while searching for a specific theme. However, if I knew what I was looking for, I would simply change to the descriptions view mode, and turn the images off (broswer = Opera) to save myself considerable time.

But now, I have cable internet, so, booyeah.
