There seems to have been an issue with some hidden character in the CSS that was blocking the CSS from applying. I have now fixed it.
Thank you, Karl. I don't know what happened with the hidden characters, as I copied & pasted from earlier in this thread, but thank you again for fixing it.
However, it's not really working correctly because the first image that loads into place, is only 800px and the image won't scale beyond it's own original dimensions to fit the container.
Understood. I have since upscaled the initial pictures, and all is working good now.
I also see some errors in console with your recaptcha.js and pws.php, although it's probably unrelated and harmless. I would recommend loading the pws.php <script> with async attribute, because right now it's render-blocking (initial page load won't render before it's loaded).
I have added async to the webstats script, as suggested. I also removed the recaptcha script, as it was causing all of my X3 sites to hang periodically.
Also, some of your images are massive (5MB) and looks like they could be compressed to a fraction with almost no visual loss. Not related, but I wanted to mention while I was peeping around!
My bad. I have since started to delete my pictures, and am re-uploading them resized to 2880*2048 @ 80%. Thank you for pointing this out.
Related to my currently remaining large filesizes, although it is easy for me to do from within Windows on my
locally-hosted X3 sites, what would be the chances of a future X3 release being able to display to X3 administrators in their X3 Panel something like the total number of images & total space that those images consume? Come to think of it, to display the data on images might be too difficult (due to the many different types of images), but perhaps the total number of files (which would include the .json files, but they're miniscule) & the total size of the /content folder? Just a thought.
Thank you again for helping me to get the slider images to display larger.
Regards,
John
