David, On my work computer (Windoze XP), IE6 puts the thumbnails partially over the photo, and Firefox puts the thumbs squarely over the pic. After viewing a pic, I have to click "Show thumbs" to get the thumbnails back. If you wanted the thumbnails alongside the pic all the time, it's not working for me.
