Hello!

I was wondering as an "easy question" if admins could tell percentage of people are using QTM to validate/upload their torrents? That seems like an interesting number!

As a hard question, can you tell over the last year (etc) how many QTM vs non-QTM uploads have had a low Video:Image ratio? That's the truely interesting one!!

...

I've seen sooo many people complain about thumbnails

If QTM is still under development ( @geographer ? ), could I suggest these "simple" tweaks;

• [FAQ]: add a button to open the guide (eg to the right of the "Upload Torrent" button, called "FAQ")

• [Thumbnail]: a button to open the latest thread about video thumbnails and programs (button to the right of "Upload" and "FAQ", "Thumbnails"? aligned left from Quit still with an expanding gap still)

• "Stats". new row after the Upload/FilePath row (or the space to the right of categories). A grid to show
  "Files found:|100
  Videos:|80
  Img2Vid ratio:|0.2
  Named Thumbnail Ratio:| 0.01
  [Rescan]"

My thinking: easy to scan for movie files, then matching filesnames elsewhere. If there is 100% matching vids to pics, gold star to the uploader! 🤩

Second: informing the uploader as early as possible. Instant feedback reward. Dopamine for a smilie face, potential reaction from downloaders. Enough hesitation to check forum thread how to do it.

If there is a Github instead, happy to put money-where-my-mouth-is and contribute there. On the QTM page it has a broken link to a "known bugs" forum page and my searches didn't get me far

Thanks for consideration

Using the large fixed image preview from the search screen - the floating menu bar at the top covers it (possibly drop the float down by that many pixels or make it float on top of the menu).

Also the image previews are in a single vertical column on the left only. Very hard to 'inspect' but maybe class mythumb was intended to be 'floating' so that the images would fill the space? Or reusing the case in the Browse section please! Throwing in a 'float' is instantly better but with gaps

Edit: the Browse page doesn't respect the mover image setting. But the hover images are stacked correctly - so there is definitely something funky with the fixed size image hover!

Nice to see a couple of changes!

Just realized why the 'file' popup lingers so long - the DIV for files is as wide as the column not the text (extra cm each side). I get a browser Loading cursor, and by the time the popup has loaded the mouse is outside the element and not triggering events.

I assume the images popup using FileListTip is quite different to file's NewTipOut as images doesn't have any issue vanishing if you aren't near the popup zone anymore.

Looking good!

• I like the darker theme. The forum page numbers on the bottom left are difficult to read .middletext (I didn't realize this thread had 10+ pages until I swapped theme back) Edit: And the 'post preview' .post is also black on grey there (missing .windowbg's white).
• The hover-thumbnail-preview going off the top of the screen was annoying enough to swap to "top right mode", having a selection of first thumbnails is pretty good and getting used to.
• Preview of description is solid choice. I'd prefer the previous title and description size but a mild bit of zoom out fixes that. Really dont like that the description scrolls only as it occupys a lot of the screen and it captures the mouse scroll to the frame and in some cases you cannot scroll the page at all ever. Id suggest no-scroll, potentially with click-expand.
• Is there a rash of "original upload" reuploads? I thought that kinda thing wasn't allowed? Is there a way to search for a NOT with a dash, or have an option to exclude previously uploaded things, maybe a 'reseeding' category? 
• Infos - far too much. Suggestion - just '10 hours ago' and the other date data in the hover. Same for Freeleech/time. Size of DL and the number of files (and put it the DL stats column?). I'd suggest using a simpler looking 'direct download' icon tho! (+Wishlist Download)
• The hover over file stays up for a loong time. It must have different vanish code than other popups.
  hope it helps!
