Default Question about 2 Pager Preference in the gallery!

Do you prefer to VIEW 2 page layouts in the gallery like this:

Full Layout
(small full 2 pager thumbnail w/ larger views of both sides in the description)

or like this:

Left Side
Right Side

(2 uploads, 1 for each side with the full 2 pager in the description)

The only thing I don't like is how the gallery resorts your layouts when someone posts on them (newest comment gets pushed to the front), making some of my 2pagers separate. But I like the look of the 2 views per layout.

Hmm... I guess bigger is better.

I know for me using Cindy's double ups, I create from the two separate files... so that is how I upload... if I'm using Janet's, then I have to use the full 12x24 and I will load up the small view.

I like the first option for the reason Darcy mentioned... I like my pages together and they often get separated because of comments

I like the first option also - I like to see the pages together, like they would be in an album. Plus it makes commenting easier. I do like seeing the 2 sides in the description too, but I'm kind of lazy to do that very often. I appreciate it when others do that though!

How timely! I just posted a two-pager, and I did option 2 (because I don't know how to do option 1), but I think I'd prefer option 1 also because of the commenting issue that's been mentioned...

I do mostly 2 page LOs (should actually get to posting them, huh?) and like to see them together but they end up so small. Love how you did the 2 page spread and then the 2 pages separately in the description.

I never ever do a 2 page LO but I love to look at them as one LO. So I picked Option 1.

I also prefer the first option, both for posting and viewing. I put the right and left side in the description section so that more detail is viewed. When I do the 2-pager with left and right side done for 2 different challenges, I post those separately, but I don't like that they get separated when commented. Of course if you put the full LO in the description, it doesn't really matter. This is very subjective and there is no wrong or right. *shrugs*

you need to post them separately, to photobucket or tinypic or one of those places and then use the [img] [/img] code in your description... hth!

I rarely do two pagers, but I also prefer Option 1 both for posting and viewing. It's too bad there's not a way to keep the pages together but have the image be a little larger.

I usually upload as option 2, but like others have said, I hate when they get separated. It never even occurred to me to upload the full image as one layout, and put the two sides in the description

I like the first option. I like to see the big picture then break it down for details.

I usually post mine as the 2nd option but love your idea about posting the 2 pages in the description area so you can see it close up when you do option no. 1.

I like seeing each page in the gallery with the full spread in the description. I'm not as drawn to the full layout when it's small enough to fit on the main screen.
