Your "thumbnails" are, in fact, full-sized pictures that
you're transmitting to the browser, and then forcing the
browser to shrink. The time required to transmit these
fill-sized files may be resulting in some timeouts.

For best results, use your favorite picture-editing
program to create some true thumbnails that are
physically the size you want, and use these for
hyperlinking to the full-sized picture.

FrontPage also has an AutoThumbnail feature you can use.

A third possibility is first, for each
existing "thumbnail", select it and then click the
Resample button on the Pictures toolbar. Then, when you
save the page and the Save Embedded Pictures dialog box
appears, be sure to save the new pictures and not
overwrite the existing files.

Note, however, that in FP2000, both the AutoThumbnail
feature and the Resample button are only 256-color tools.
That's why using a true picture editor produces better
results.
