Thanks Karl, really appreciate the time you took to give that kind
of feedback.

I'm rolling a few ideas and changes together, to be implemented
in the next imagevue update, much of which will (now) include
your suggestions.

Thanks again!

Christopher,

I really enjoy your layout. I notice your thumbnails load quick. I host with GoDaddy any ideas? I know your images are black and white which that might help a bit on image size...

Thanks again.

Morning,

Oddly, I'm not too happy with my own provider, Team NetHosting.
While the speed is fine, their servers go down fairly regularly and
when they do, the site and associated emails are down for usually
about 24 hours. So I'm not sure I can recommend them.

The average size of my thumbnails is 4 to 8kb.
The average size of my full size photographs are 30-100kb.
In color, I'd say the average file size is about 5-15% larger.

Hope this helps!

hi christopher,

first of all thanks to share your very nice gallery..
I have a question, i've already search but didnt find anything.
I just want to know how did you make your thumbnail images bigger and how did you disabled the thumbnailsroller.

thanks!

Evening from Sweden,

Thumbails:
Goto - CONFIG
Expand - Thumbnail
Towards the bottom of that you have 'box width' and 'box height'

Thumbnail Scroller:
Didn't disable it, I just made the 'shown' section 0 pixels so it's
impossible to select it. I know in the next version (still beta?)
they'll have an option to disable it.

Hope this helps!

tow

EDIT: don't know why i didnt think to go to the CONFIG section... i was stuck in the editing theme section..

tow · 12 Oct 2008, 14:36

hmm the thumbnail's images size does not changed :/ any idea ?

Christopher · 12 Oct 2008, 15:35

The only thing I can think of is to make sure you've remade the thumbnails
and cleared out your browser cache... that should do the trick... otherwise...
you got me!

Had to edit my post as I typed not instead of notch

Will be keeping my eye out for your finished site

Looking forwards to see user customizations now after latest release 20081015 - Now, you can change config and theme as you like, and you need not worry about having to redo it when upgrading again. Your changes are saved in separate files.

Christopher · 16 Oct 2008, 11:33

Rockin!

Already upgraded but been too busy to edit much. Hopefully will have a new look by the weekend.

Really appreciate all your hard work. Next time you're in Stockholm look me up, I'll buy the first round.

Love your photo and website!!!!

Just like to ask a question how could you change the name of the menu from the default "Gallery Menu" to "Portfolio Menu".
