RE: "Google Images: Direct Links" filter update
The Google Image search results page looks dramatically different tonight. The direct image links are not working, and the thumbnails now have no size or link info unless you hover the mouse over them, which creates little popout enlargements with the info. Formerly the page had about 15 thumbnails with a small menu at the bottom where you could choose which page of thumbs you'd like to see. Now, it's just one loooooong page of thumbnails that keeps loading as you scroll down.

I hate it. Is there any way to get the old results display back? I'm thinking it's not beyond Proxomitron's scope because I've seen this new display for at least a few months on friends computers who don't use Proxomitron.

I always begin image searches here: http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en

Testing of the above was done with sidki's 10-23 config and Firefox 3.5.8 on WinXp.
I should probably add that I've mostly been using a customized default config these last few months that has a few different settings for Google, such as "jump" redirects that point to the advanced search page for both web and image searches, and the Alternate Display filters are turned off. With this config the behavior is even stranger. If you scroll down the page and hover over a thumbnail the page will instantly revert to the top, making it impossible to click on the thumbnail. But this config was working great yesterday, and I know sidki's pure config was as well when the above issues were resolved.
