Finally, you have an ability to select an image that will be displayed on the main and topic pages. Actually you even have to select one now. Luckily it's pretty easy with Unsplash integration - just search for some nice image and be done with it.

Yeah, it's called "lead image", because someday we'll give you the ability to have a nice big header image as a background or something like that. But for now it's used only as a thumbnail for the main/topic pages.

You can also select one of the images in your article as the "lead image".

This should definitely improve the situation with the big number of black and white images on the main page.

UPDATE: It seems to be working well, homepage looks much better now:

OPINION; I liked it better without these images as thumbnails on home site... feels so busy & overwhelming & more about hit pieces than quality content. I fancied the feng shui of the site without the lead image at the home page. I would love to somehow run a poll to see what users think, but I don't have that kind of reach

***EDIT; Just saw the new toggles in the top right as well! The picture thumbnails can be turned off by changing to list view. Fantastic. Thanks!

Yes, you're not the first one to voice that opinion :) Actually, so far "tiles" to "list" is about 7:11 (7 strongly prefer "list" after trying the switcher at least once, 11 strongly prefer "tiles").
