some gallery changes

[jan normandale]

How about a notice posted to members as a sticky;
• revise the gallery photos to 800 max and 72 DPI max
• go thru and clean up / refresh the galleries
• enter some minimal info on the shots posted

for Jorge and members to consider;
• I see a lot of shots in triplicate ie study 1,2,3…..
• close out inactive accounts with no log in to RFF in 6 months.
• Max upload in the RFF is 200 shots. Then you must delete to add if you exceed 200. lets promote some consideration of quality ahead of quantity
• I enjoy the Gallery of 20 fresh uploads to 10, if we cut somewhere lets not cut there. If RFF needs the ‘room’ I will delete 10 from my gallery to make room.

I'm with you on this. Bring back the 20. Ten doesn't look right. (Although from what I understand it is a bandwidth consideration, not a storage issue [right?].)

Ray, it would help if I understood the difference. I don't; so I better find out. I'll surf around to resolve my lack of 'comprehension'

The original reason for my joining (and still is) was the gallery and the daily posting of fresh shots.

Jan, I'm not sure I understand it correctly, but I think the bandwidth-thing has to do with access and faster screen loading: more users accessing the pages, more information being sent out (images increase page size), and system resources being taxed resulting in longer/slower load times. I *think* that's the idea. The images are thumbnails so they can't be that big, but they are images nonetheless , and there are/were 20 of them.

I've been meaning to clean out my gallery and rescan some of my shots anyway, this gives me a great excuse.

Hi Ray, I think I get it, but how would bandwidth be affected by cutting the number of photos. Photos use memory/storage space; bandwidth would suggest 'throughput' ie more users at the same time more throughput required. The images don't use bandwidth the RFF members use it when we are on the site.

If I am going through someone's gallery I would use the 'bandwidth' regardless of how many shots are in the gallery.

If there is a fine point I'm missing maybe someone can fill the gaps.\\Jan
