I noticed that the thumbnail of my dream Summertime on dream.wincustomize.com is missing a girl.
I take it those thumbnails are automatically generated and cropped but as it is now, it isn't representative of the actual dream. Is there any way that can be fixed?

Mmm, I've taken a look at your html-code and I see the image itself is not cropped but it's containing divs have the property overflow: hidden. If you would like to center the images inside those divs you can simply add this to your stylesheet:

.Dream_ScreenShots_Row img { margin: -6px 0 0 -30px; }

This would work with all thumbnails, including widescreen formats. It works in firefox and IE7, haven't been able to test in IE6.

maybe you could just crop off some of the right side of your thumbnail and re-upload it..
maybe..

Looks ok for me when viewing the Dream gallery, but yes in some of the views it only shows the upper left corner of the preview. Not sure why, I'm sure it's on the "to-do" list.

Cropping would only work if I added a lot of whitespace to the right of the image and then the gallery and preview images would look funky.
I'm afraid, having software/website development experience myself, that it's not on the to-do list but on the it-will-do list. I don't think they want to generate another, smaller image that -in most cases- will only be shown for about a week.
Changing the stylesheet as I indicated above would be the most painless solution.

sntXrr . . might want to post your suggestion in the site issues forum.  The web devs look there first.
