Photo gallery: Need your input.

Jeff's avatar
I need your opinion on something. Assuming you've visited the gallery on this site, how do you feel about there not being thumbnails? There are nearly 200 photos in there now, and that would be a lot of thumbnails, and make browsing it an even longer experience.

My thinking is that I tend to look at all of the pictures anyway when I visit a gallery, but I know others like the preview. What do you think? It would be a lot of work if I change it.

Yeah I think the gallery is great the way it is.
Keep it how it is. It is great.
I realy like the gallery how it is. Its easy, and its differnt than other sites. And it loads fast compared to thumbs.

Welcome back Raptor riders-how was your flight??
I think its Sweet as it is. Keep up the good work Jeff:)
Gallery is Great!! Don't fix what isn't broken :)
Jeff:
I agree with everyone else. The site is fine the way that it is. If you want a preview, PhotoShop 5.5 makes great thumbnails automatically...sure beats doing it by hand. So, if you have a copy of that, the functionality is built in! :-)

I'm not real fond of the way PS does it, and automating the process with a stored action doesn't integrate well with the Web optimizing module. Sigh. I guess I'll leave it as is, since most people are cool with it now.

I think the way it is now if great! Thumb nails would be better, but I understand how much work it is, and I wouldnt want to see you go through all that to change it just for convience reasons, so I say leave it the way it is, its still great!

The more you ride it, the more you want it!

The site, including the pictures, is great. I think your filing system and text descriptions are fine.

Sounds like you ARE going a "a little crazy up there at the lake" and running out of things to do ;)

I agree with the consensus... The photo gallery is nicely organized!

Thumbnails are a pain...they take time to load, and they really don't have enough information in them to really be useful.

I kind of like the current gallery setup. The only trouble is that I have to reenable Javascript to make it work, then I have to disable Javascript to make CP Place come up. When is Netscape going to include a Javascript on/off button on the toolbar?

(Reading CP Place with javascript enabled seems to hang an awful lot with "Document: Done" and a blank window...)

I also think its fine the way it is. The descritptions are all you really need.
