As the title says, that hosting service kind of sucks.
When you click to open the link it's nothing more than an enlarged thumbnail so it kind of defeats the purpose of giving you an insight on the content of the video before downloading it.
In most cases you can't even recognize the face of the actress who's starring in it!

Okay this is my point of view:
Before deciding if I will download a torrent video or not, I check the preview image, I try to recognize the actress in it, and what's exactly happening in the video.
I never had any issue with almost any image storage service so far. But with GalleryNova I costantly can't understand what the heck is going on. It's too tiny, it's too low res.
You can't distinguish faces, you can't understand what is happening.
Being low res, it gives almost the same infos as a thumbnail, so opening it doesn't add any value.

I think that like me also others are having this same kind of trouble.

the problem is not GalleryNova, it is the original poster, and when we wrote the rule for screenshots, we never added minimum sizes, it was not an issue at the time,

Do you think it would be possible to introduce such a rule?
I think it would be useful not only in that section, but all around the forum.
