Bigger photos in "Recent Activity" tab

January 10th, 2012
Hi.

Why can't you see everybody's pictures bigger in "recent activity" tab?
I think i might be unfair and skip a good picture just because it's thumbnail is uninteresting. And i don't feel like clicking on everything that turns up there.

Am i the only one thinking this? Thinking that the dashboard format tumblr uses is far far better, for instance?

I would like opinions on this. Thanks!

I agree with you on this one.

I think it would be cool! And have the photo's description underneath to allow for the larger width. :)

well I sort of think if you are taking the time to look at the recent photos you could take the extra minute to enlarge a photo...
maybe they are small because there is a limited amount of space , if we have everyone uploading photos all day long thats a LOT of photos and it would mean less photos on one page and therefore, maybe people skip looking at all the photos..

I agree, but I'm wanting larger images in the Browse categories as well. I'm finding that the thumbnails are not a good representation of what an image will look like larger.

Maybe a larger version can come up on a mouse hover?

@ecfu Yes indeed!

@hown not at all. "recent activity" is a misguiding name. Anyway, what do you think about the small pics?

I agree bigger would be better but at same time I also get the space issue. I know alot of times when I shoot alot my pics take up alot of space on my own computer until I resize or move them to portable.

Bigger photos, great! BUT, this would mean having a lot more scrolling down to do, I follow about 70 people (I know that there are many, many people out there who follow more people than I do) and miss so many wonderful photos as it is.

I don't get the opportunity to log on to 365 every day and I follow a lot of people who only get to do a bulk upload every week or so.

Would it make a change for the better? I'm not so sure.

@pete21 maybe you could skip photos using J and K buttons, just like ffffound and Google Reader do. A freaking lot of content, still usable.

HA!! See Ross Scrivener's reply in my email: "Hi Gabriel, I do intend to improve the Recent Activity screen soon, thanks for the feedback"
