Carol, Thanks for the kind words. That's a good idea for providing a screen shot, that's what they do at addons.mozilla.org . It might be somewhat difficult however to implement an enlargeable thumbnail because the developers would have to create two images, and I would probably have to jump through a few hoops writing the javascript and editing the current a.sl.o code. I haven't looked at the code yet, so I don't know what the developers are looking at when they're uploading an activity or what would be involved for me, but it's a good idea.
