I just got on tech support - running low on disk space, so SQL fell over. I've deleted some random crap that was gathering dust, and sent off to sales to see how much extra storage will cost me...

aaa haaaa... I've got 18 gig free if you need to dump stuff temporallilly...ish. :)
 
At the moment, all images on extracrispy display at 800x600, but the original (if larger) can be accessed. To save space I'm going to permanently resize all photos to that size. Any objections?

I would...prolly better to make it a proviso/rule of the comp..."Please provide images at the following size or realize that the Hosting will resize for you." kinda thang... ...I was, honestly, thinking that that resizing was already being implemented by some editors(or the way they upload entries) of the Gallery last night/other times...some of the jaggys I saw were eeeeky...but I'm prolly wrong as per...

What does make me laugh(sic) the most, since the implementation of the Gallery, is the apparent fact(via the public view counts) that most peeps who appear to view/vote in the comp, only review/look at the Thumbnails, alone. That is sad IMO>.

jus saying... :D
 
I know what you mean. Maybe there should be no actual thumbs at all, just a list of photos :)
 
No objections from me re: resizing the pics. Some of them are huge.

I reckon with a list rather than thumbnails, you'd get less people voting, as less people would be bothered to look through all the pics. Assuming a lot/most people only look at the thumbs for most of the pictures, maybe we could bump the size of them slightly, to do a bit more justice to them...I dunno.
 
yep, keep the thumbs and all sized the same imo.

okay... then this is what would occur.

my picture on my hosting:

would become something like this...

Thinking about it, I'd probably do something like 680*680 max size, so that portrait photos don't get punished for being narrow. (gallery2 reduces the image until it fits within the max. size) but stay around the 450-500,000 pixel range.

I wuz jus trying to suggest the same but without sounding tooo priggish...good idea Batman...I reckons it would also be a gud idea to suggest this in "the Rules" also..."pictures above this size will feel the wrath of Gall2's resizing options" kind of thang... it's about time peeps learnt how to resize proper. :p
