Website Thumbmails?

    I'm looking for an alterative to Thumbshots.org (free) service they provide. I was also using MSN version (but it has stopped working)

    Does anyone know of any other alternatives?

    thumbshot is fast and no cost, it's the alternative of MSN.

    Thumbshots require a backlink. How many directory owners actually link back on every page a thumbnail is used?

    Homepage linkback should be enough I guess as mark of respect towards the service. I do the same. :)

    so the thumbshots service requires a backlink, and the phpld screenshots does not. Is that correct?

    Don't worry, I won't turn my FREE one off I will be giving out. I only ask for a link back from whatever appropriate category the directory owner deems fit for my (will announce) resource.

    All I need to do is get this one painstaking job done and I can finish up on it.


    (GUI subject to change as I see fit, but this is what is it thus far)

    But yea, give me time.

    Rob those look amazing. You can have all the links from me if they come out anywhere near the quality of that small preview :D

    Nope. Not at all.

    The only thing that I need is for a table structure rundown for each of the scripts to make sure it scales properly.

    @mikey - That is a screenie direct from my app. Here is zorg's thumbnail direct from it.

    browser: 1024x768
    thumb: 240x208

    [​IMG]

    remember, you can set the quality of .jpg with the little slider I have on the lower right of the screenie.

    Files supported are: (evilgrin)

    .bmp
    .gif
    .pcx
    .png
    .tiff
    .tga
    .emf
    .wmf

    It will be going back to the sponsor of the the app of course: DirectoryMIX Web Resources, where I also feature a Search By zipCode radius MOD as well.

    @others:

    Thanks for the the motivative words. Remember though, I need a little time to finish it, so be patient. I have a directory driving me absolutely insane for the past few weeks due to some extreme MODding. It'll happen, just give time.
