Suggestion: Small Improvements Anonymous No.1101 [D][U][F][S][L][A][C] >>1103

1. A name text for thumbnails.
When the catalog is being loaded, if there's an OP but the thumbnail isn't loaded yet, there's no way to enter the thread until the thumbnail appears.

2. Inline CSS hinting the size of thumbnails.
Big image dump threads get scrolled automatically as the page loads because the browser isn't told what size the thumbnails are. Then as thumbnails get loaded the page is annoyingly scrolled against the user's will.

3. Better thread titles.
In these tab browser times the page title should be either the given OP's title or otherwise the first N (say 60) characters of the post body. Right now it's just like "/meta/ - nanochan" for all which becomes annoying if many threads open.

4. Better approximation of file size.
Currently all file sizes are displayed in MB e.g. 0.03 MB. They should be displayed in whatever makes them most human readable e.g. 30 KB.

5. Dates should be displayed in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD.
This helps for archival purposes because filenames are sorted easily. Also it's unambiguous.

All your suggestions have been implemented except for point 2. Doing that would require processing the image further in order to obtain width and height information, and this would require more CPU power (slowing down posting) and cause significantly higher code complexity.
To alleviate the problem of pages getting scrolled around when you update threads, use the [Update] buttons on threads (and the catalog) rather than a keyboard shortcut. This avoids cache revalidation and speeds up page refresh times greatly. The problem is now limited only to first-time page loads.
