    User talk:Zmuda/ Thumbnails on song pages

Six months ago, I emailed you and others:

    "I wrote that two years ago, but perhaps no one saw it....

     "I bring it back up now because some of the thumbnails created in the last two years 
     only work if you click on the upper-left quarter, due to the image map coordinates
     not matching the image size.
     (or they did once, but they no longer do because the image was upgraded with a larger version).


This new thumbnail created today is unnecessary and a perfect example of shortcomings of using "imagemap":
            
             <imagemap>
             Image:2020 DELUXE BOX FRONT.JPG|99px|center
             rect 0 0 352 349 [[The Complete Armed Forces (2020 super deluxe edition)]]
             desc none
             </imagemap>
             
-- the coordinates don't match the image, so it's only clickable if you click on the upper-left third.
 Try clicking it:

To reiterate, we can now use the standard image syntax on song pages:
             
              [[image:2020 DELUXE BOX FRONT.JPG|99px|center|link=The Complete Armed Forces (2020 super deluxe edition)]]
             
It's simpler, reliable, and doesn't require future maintenance on separate templates.
