I used Gixen alot in the past and a few days ago I subscribed again. What a dissapointment - quality of the images is very bad. Images are almost unusable now - it is difficult to understand what is in the images.
It looks like the images are 50x50px now only. They should be at least twice as big, I think. I would like to have even bigger images, perhaps 300x300px

Here is what happened - browsers (Firefox, Safari and others) stopped displaying images from external sites, in this case eBay. So Gixen is now downloading these images to its own servers, reduces their size and displays them from Gixen web servers.

50x50 size was chosen because it allows for fast loading, and does not take too much space on Gixen servers.

I may allow for option (possibly configurable from the Gixen settings page) to load these images from eBay instead, but in that case you will have to disable trackers for Gixen.com in your web browser). But this is something I would have to implement, and can't promise a timeline for this.

I see. I think something should be done for this anyway.
As an option, is it possible to create a bit more expensive subscription but with larger images? I would like to pay a few more dollars for this.
Thank you!

I'll see what I can do, it's not about money - when I have time I will be glad to implement this.
