Is there any way to make video and photo thumb big

The backup man on campus

I would like for the video and photo thumbnails both to be this size or larger. I think about four times the default size would be good. How do I do this? I searched forums, but couldn't find a direct answer. I tried changing things in admin and nothing happened. I was thinking that if it is four times as large as default, it wouldn't change the design too much since everything is in squares. plus, larger thumbnails attract more users. To me, I think it makes people want to click on it more.

I would also like to take away the spacing between the thumbs and take away the username and title/description from the bottom of the thumbs. I just need it to be a wall of thumbs for video and a wall of thumbs for photos. Thumbnails should be touching each other on all four sides in this case. I attached a photo of the wanted results to this post.

The settings in the admin will control the thumbnail sizes for photos and videos.  However, it will only affect new uploads of photos and videos; the thumbnail is created at the time of the upload.  The rest will be handled by CSS.  Now, you can resize the old thumbnails using this class; class.upload.php; you can read in the directory selecting only the thumbnail image and resize them; or you can resize them manually using a graphic editor.  Or you can re-up the photos and videos and have the thumbnail recreated.

The thing is that I only have so much free time to help.  The answers to the things you want to do are hidden among the forum topics; just do some searching.  Or, you can PM me to discuss a different arrangement.

Ok I changed the height and width of video browse unit and I noticed a larger thumbnail after upload, but the box that the thumbnail is in is still the same. How do I make the actual box bigger? I know geek_girl is busy but if anybody else has time I could use the input. Thanks.

If you want to work on this yourself you will need to work with two things, the template for the thumb; for photos you will find that in the /modules/boonex/photos/template; make a backup.  You will also be working with the CSS.  You need to turn off CSS caching in your admin.  Then use the inspect element of Chrome, or install Firebug for FireFox.  You would load the page, right-click on an object, and choose "Inspect Element".  You need to understand how CSS works and you need to understand HTML.
