When logging in to the new version of PictureView you will be prompted to choose a style. Each style provides a slightly different look for the thumbnail pages. The same material is presented regardless of the style you use and we encourage you to experiement to determine which style best suits your browsing needs.
Currently, you can choose between two styles: Classic and PV2.
The Classic Style
The Classic style is nearly identical to the original version of PictureView and was designed to provide longtime members with a smooth transition to the new version.
The PV2 Style
The PV2 style provides a cleaner, more modern interface for accessing the thumbnails, with many of the options and features tucked into menus above the thumbnails.

NOTE: A number of short and informal instructional videos is included below (requires QuickTime). If you want to see an explanatory video of a certain subject or feature, please let us know.
For the purposes of this article we will be using the Classic Style. All of the features described below are also available in the PV2 Style but the location of various features is somewhat different.
After clicking on a group in the Complete Group Index or your Personal Group List, you will be presented with a thumbnail page (typically, you will be presented with the first page of the most current day with the files listed alphabetically). The number of thumbnails displayed will depend on the thumbnail size you selected (large or small) and the current size of your browser window. Clicking on the thumbnail of an image file will display the full-size version of that image. Clicking on the thumbnail of a video will display a page containing a preview image of the video and links to download or view the video.
Navigating to the Next Page 
Directly below the thumbnails is a list of pages and days available. To advance to the next page of thumbnails, you can click on the Next bar on the right side of the thumbnails, the Next link on the right side of the page numbers listed below the thumbnails, or you can press the right arrow key on your keyboard. If you are on the last page of a particular day, advancing will take you to the first page of thumbnails for the next day (if you are on the last page of the most current day, advancing will take you to the first page of the earliest available day). Clicking on a date will display the first page of thumbnails of the selected day.
Changing Thumbnail Size
Large and Small Thumbnail Sizes
While the number of files available on a particular day remains constant, the number of pages available can change depending on the number of thumbnails displayed. For example, if you change the thumbnail size from large to small (by clicking on the Small link below the list of days), more thumbnails will be displayed on the current page, potentially resulting in less page numbers. (The link for thumbnail size will toggle between Small and Big.)
Selecting Small Thumbnail Size
Adding and Subtracting Rows and Columns
In addition to being able to change the size of the thumbnails, you can also add and subtract rows and columns of thumbnails. Just to the right of the Small link in the image above are links for adjusting the number of rows and columns. Click the +col link to add a column, -col to remove a column, +rowto add a row, -row to subtract a row.
Adding the Current Group to Your Personal Group List
Below the list of days is the group name, day, and page number currently being displayed (they are also displayed in the title bar of your browser window) as as well as a link for adding the group to your Personal Group List (PGL). (If the group is already in your PGL, the link will allow you to remove the group.) Groups can also be added to your PGL from the Complete Group Index using the checkboxes in the PGL column.

The Usenet is a discussion network, organized into groups (commonly referred to as newsgroups) such as alt.money and alt.pictures.binaries.erotica.bigmamas, that spans thousands of servers across the world. People post articles, messages, and binary files to this network through the local servers of their Internet Service Providers (ISP). Once uploaded to a local server, posted files are then distributed throughout the rest of the Usenet network.
Some Usenet servers reside in universities, some belong to individuals, and a vast number belong to commercial entities. Because there is no central location for this network of servers, all servers feed into and off of the Usenet network in a highly dynamic manner.
Some Usenet groups are moderated, meaning that articles are cleared before posting, but many groups–including most binary groups–are not moderated. In fact, although moderated groups exist, no person, group, government, business, organization, etc., has control or authority over the entire Usenet. There are certain conventions to which most Usenet users would like everyone to adhere (e.g., no spamming, flaming, or posting of inappropriate or illegal material), but anarchy tends to rule.
If you are interested in learning more about the Usenet, the link below offers an excellent resource:
