Hiya,

I'm working to revamp the model journal post with updates on models, changes to structure, CSS skins, etc.  One of the primary ways to make the model post both more compact and usable is to use thumbnails instead of links.  I noticed a few thumbnails that lacked key information like what it was.

In a usual scenario, the name/title of the submission would be under the thumbnail in a gallery.  In the case of posting thumbnails alone, however, this title is not shown.  To make it easier for the prospective users of your resources, I'd recommend you add at least the name of your SFM Resource submission in the image preview like:

:thumb562333013: [DL] LE Deluxe Socks! by love-mist :thumb560545321: [DL/SFM/Gmod] Cherry Jubilee by Apimpnc

If you want to see what I mean, you're welcome to visit the (in construction) model post here:  sfm-ponies.deviantart.com/jour…

Please keep in mind, I am currently editing a skin and I need to go through and add more granularity/change structure.  I'll send an update to everyone when it's updated and ready.

This ought to benefit the Gmod group too as a side effect.
