I also happen to have a computer with a small browser window, I don't know a better way to suggest reproducing it unless you have a touch screen micro vaio?

Ok, I'm looking at most people who will join my site (jamroom 5) from now on to be from Facebook, so that is a bit disappointing since I won't be able to feature bands or artists who signed up using their facebook account because their pictures won't be of good quality, I wonder why the mod creator hasn't updated that feature.
The mod creator would love nothing more than getting access to the original picture you uploaded on your fb site, unfortunately, fb owns them except from you... Call face book customer service and ask all your friends to call, ask if it's something then can help with...

The original photo in full quality is listed in the profile photos album and the current picture is always the first one in the album. Perhaps the photo just needs to be pulled from a different place.

When the screen gets smaller, the images get bigger, and blurry. That's not a feature, that's a problem. If the images are going to get bigger then the GD resized image- either GD needs to resize them again, or the images need to stay the same size as the screen gets smaller so they are still viewable. Make your browser resizable and drag a corner in to watch what the images do.
I've got the image issue fixed for jrNova as well as a new nav menu for mobile devices, like the jrElastic skins menu.

There's no GD resizing going on - the browser is actually doing the image resizing. So basically the skin sends out images at a certain size (say 512x512 pixels). The browser will set the image width to 100% (not 512 pixels), so it fills up the entire width of it's "lane". As the browser window shrinks/expands, the image will resize so it is always 100% of the width of that container.
So if the original image is low quality (say 100x100 pixels in size), it's going to look REALLY bad/pixelated as it is blown up to 100% the width of the column it is in. So having high quality original images is really a must to make sure it looks good.
So with the skins, you'll want to make sure and select the featured profile's that have good images. You can also modify the templates and change the "column width" - there are 12 columns, so changing it from say "col4" to "col3" will make it so the image is smaller on the page, but sharper since it is not being blown up so much by the browser.
It makes me think that beyond the jrCore_list "require_image" parameter having just a true/false value, that we can set it to something like:
Code
require_image=512
so only images that are a minimum 512 pixels in width will appear in the listing.

Great demo. Seeing the Nova skin helps me think of a plan for my layout. Question; How are you implementing the video section of the site? Is this an update?

So no more calender for the concerts section? How are people supposed to see what day concerts falls on Monday-Sunday without going to another page like Google Calender to see?
