I think it might be your connection speed. That thread stalled my home computer, but works fine on my work computer.

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
I'm guessing it has to do with the size of the pictures being posted and the forum plugin to resize the pictures.
I would suggest anyone posting pictures, size them down to 800x600 first, then post them.
It's just the plugin chewing on the resize. :tup:

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
we are on a shared server, that plugin requires alot of resources to run, thus things crashing..
the server can't handle resizing all of the pics each time someone goes into the thread.

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
We wouldn't need the plugin if people would size pics appropriately before posting them. Not everyone has a 30" widescreen cinema display with 100mbps connection. :lol: :lol:

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
Firefox only resizes images when you view the actual URL. If they are posted in a thread, they will not get sized. The plugin was installed to help make threads more pleasant to view, ie. no sidescrolling, etc.
But yeah, definitely not built to handle some of those photo sizes. Might need to make a forum-wide announcement about picture size... Wonder if there's a hack we can install that will automatically red x anything over a certain size...
Too bad Morgan is busy. :lol:

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
The whole image still has to load before it is resized. So that doesnt help with connection speed or bandwidth.
I think it is a good idea, but the resized image should be bigger than 800x600. If someone is still using a 14" CRT monitor, thats too bad

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
Yeah, thats my main complaint about it.. The resized image is just way too small.. 1024x768 would be better but it probably wouldn't hurt to go even a bit larger..

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
While I was waiting for my take out (she took my order) I actually asked her if she would come out later and take photos in front of the trucks (she said Sure!) But I was SO pissed that it took so long (and they kept saying "just another minute" :roll that I lost interest. Sorry, dude. I think you two would make a great couple. Just don't have the wedding reception at Hooters...
On topic: I like the fact that the forum resizes the photo because to do so on photobucket SUX...but yeah, that thread is crashing my computer. Keith would have to delete, resize offline, then repost. Big job.

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
I thought about doing that, but didn't get to it.
You probably had a script to resize them all in a batch and upload them after finishing. :lol:

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
i have some actions saved in photoshop that i use for batch resizing. It woulda taken less time had i set it to demaximize the quality also...so i just did that part by hand. Then a simple upload, and find/replace of keith's post. Took a couple mins, not a big deal :tup:

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
everytime the plugin resizes a picture it is doing the process renz did in photoshop.. which i'm sure is hitting the server quite hard..
if we had our own server it probably wouldn't be an issue, however since it is shared it is probably part of the problem.

Re: Pictures thread crashing?
Sorry if the Pics caused a problem.
I hosted them offsite on my Comcast FTP and used links.
I did leave them full size because the new plug-in resizes them automatically and people can click on the smaller pics and get a full size pic to zoom in and see detail.
I use Firefox as a browser and everything worked fine for me.
So where is everyone's pictures???? How come no one else posted pictures?
