The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I always looking to expand my current desktop/wallpaper collection. I'm just using a Macbook right now (1280 x 800), so I don't need any crazy dual-screen wallpapers or some exotic size.
I've been using InterFacelift and loving it. It has a thumbnail of the image, and I can simply view it in the resolution I want it in then save the file. I don't have to see a small thumbnail then download a .zip, locate it, extract it, select the resolution, dispose of the file, etc. (I'm thinking of you, HD Wallpapers) which is what I like about the site. Plus, I can favorite the files and see the community's feedback.
I'm asking for suggestions for sites of similar quality. Again, something easy to navigate - I don't want to spend days waiting for DeviantArt to load or simply find good desktops.
Thanks for the links, I've taken a look! I'm surprised there aren't a lot of responses with 50+ views - maybe there aren't that many great wallpaper sites. Any other ideas?
Also, I've always loved rainy pictures and the European countryside (living in the south of the U.S., I have to say that you can tell a difference between Europe and North America's country sides). I specifically think of Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan settings, if anyone has anything to share.
Nice reference I've skimmed the thread before, unfortunately. However, I did find several great wallpapers in it. Half of the websites suggested in the OP are DeviantArt and InterFaceLift (see above), and the other 2 are pretty abysmal... so the search continues.
http://www.caedes.net has been around for a long time, and is decent for nature photography. A lot of their wallpapers are a little old fashioned, but you can't go wrong with some nice photographs.

The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Be warned though: All those images are from 4chan, so it's probably fair to consider the entire site NSFW, even if you try filtering images.
