Nice pics but the download time is a little long.

Yea I thought it was just me on this old 56k modem. Ant idea how to make it faster?? Thanks Glad you liked them.

check the sizes of your images....and make sure they are only 72dpi.....my camera takes them at 120, and I have to make them 72 if I want' to put it on the website.....

Also, make actual thumbnails of images that are only about 100x100 pixels.....they will only be about 15bytes then and load in no time......if the person wants to see the image bigger, they can click on it for the full version......

That is how mine is set up, only bad thing is, you have to load the same image twice, one as a thumbnail that is really small, the other is the actual image full size....

P.S. I downloaded one of you photos just to check, they are 72 dpi but the sizes are huge, the one I downloaded was 13"X17" and was 3.5mb.......I guess did you just resize them in the page builder??

[alf3482]

Well the earthlink page builder does give you a choice of sizes not sure what they are but i'll try that thanks. The download time is way to long. later

Hey, i did the listing on the 12th but still not in the members section. Did it not go through??:confused: I'll never be tank of the month:(

[alf3482]

Ok did not work!!:mad: Still to big how do you do the thumb nails??

Most image editing software will allow you to resize an image.

Thanks John,
I have been changing the sizes at my web site, but they still come in on the BB at very large sizes. So was testing them out they are still comming in big so i need to go in a resize the original image and reload i guess. I so some post with thump nails for there image on the BB was tring to figure that out to any idea how that works??

[tim4j]

changing the sizes in your website will not actually change the photo any....you need a program like Photoshop or something to do that.....
