AV is showing thumnails again.
This time it shows the images regardless of whether you elect to search the world or just Ireland.
Previously it only showed them if you searched Ireland.

Yep. Not on AVUK yet but the move to presenting thumbnails for the world database on IE must mean that the introduction on AV.com isn't far off.

(Those thumbnails make searching sooo much more fun.)

The images for the UK database have been there, but they have never displayed images for the worldwide results (and still aren't.) If Ireland is now displaying thumbs for the local and worldwide results then it means that AV is set up to start delivering them on the US site now.

Got it vis, thanks.
The testbed of Europe may roll out to US soon. It's interesting they've chosen Ireland as this seems to be integrated into the US DB somehow.
