I have a small but profitable niche tgp thats all bookmarkers no trades, and I just switched the format from the old text links style to thumbs. Here are some of the emails im getting from surfers:

- HOW DO i FIND THE OLD SET UP? i\'LL CHECK BACK IN A FEW DAYS, IF THIS IS STILL A MESS i\'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. wHAT WERE U THINK? THIS IS JUNK

- i JUST DELETED YOUR SITE FROM MY FAVORITES

- old format was much better, you can\'t tell what is a movie clip and what is a picture until you click on

- I\'m confused... where are all the moviez?

- don\'t like it much prefare the old style.
if it ain\'t broke, don\'t fix it!

- the new version is pretty good. I like it as well. Thanks so much!

- love the old format better. new one is too complicating

- I like being able to see a thumb of what a link might contain.

So its like 60% hate it, 40% like it.
Did your sites grow when you changed to thumbs? What kinds of emails did you get?
My site was getting good traffic years ago but the traffic has really slowed down so I had to do something to shake it up.
