I don't get email for new private messages? Did I miss another update post?
No let me look into it.
Edit: I noticed you use a Yahoo.com email address. Ever since the server change Yahoo doesn't like our server and there has been upwards of a 12 hour delay before they accept the email and sometimes it hits the spam folder, eventhough it didn't before. I am having the same issue.
DT:
Check out Curious Dudes thread on Jaguara. It kills my computer. HUGE pics. I am sure it hammers your server.
Don't you think you should institute a max file size per image to force guys to resize there pics?? I downloaded one of CD's pics and it was 28" x 33" 72 dpi.... I know a lot of guys don't know how to do it but forcing them they will learn.....
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what he said
I mentioned it on another thread of Jimmys (with many colombia pics on one page) , but he said it might be just my computer ? but I dont think it is.
Something else is amiss. I dont have that problem on ANY OTHER SITE.
The pics seems to be trying to load up at FULL SIZE, lock up my computer and it takes like 5 minutes for that one thread alone to load up.
then when the pics are finally all loaded up, they are normal size , which is fine with me.
I dont know all the computer teminology, but this is taking up way too much time, and probably bogging down your servers as well.
IMO, this is why some of the great PICS are not even getting THANK YOU's. because the guys are not even SEEING them. Not everyone can wait 5 mins for a page to spool up.
Anyway, Thanks for all your great work you do for the site DT, we do appreciate it.
this is just all fyi stuff, not meant to be criticism by any means.
I don't think anybody should load pics wider than (say) 1200 pixels. They only get resized anyway.
Yeah that is what DT should do.. set limits. 1200 is way to wide I think. That is 16".
I disagree with Gladator on Blue Devils report. he resizes so they come out OK. It does take a while but I think we can live with that. He does have shitload of pics per page though
It is the guys that post 2400 pixel pics that kill the system.
I have had the same issue
Hunter I agree but I am not touching this one...
You missed all the business people pissed before, because I use to restrict file size due to hard drive size. Now with the larger hard drive they were happy that file size restrictions could be relaxed.
CD's pics are about 1mb each and with 30some pics you are downloading 30mb to your PC just to view the thread. As far as the server, with the new one, that much data doesn't faze it at all.
Feel free to start a new thread, maybe the people who were against the file size restrictions might chime in. I am only giving the people what they want....
Don Tomas is their a way to add something to a computer to help the downloading of photo
I would just lower the resolution settings on the camera. Even though there are 10+ megapixel cameras out there, for mongering you really don't need anything higher than 4MP (you could even get away with 3) unless you're planning on making professional shots or making prints.
In the meantime, you can go into User CP , then Edit Options and then scroll down to Image Resizer and enter the max width and height of how you want pics displayed on here.
We surveyed 100 chicas and the top 69 answers are on the board. Here's the question...
I.S.O.B.B.C.
I tried yesterday to view curious dudes post and after 5 minutes of waiting for it to load, i had to control alt delete out of it. This morning, i tried again and i got a pop up saying my memory was now low. Just acessing his post, it drained all the memory out of my computer I have still yet to even read his post due to the huge lagging and i wouldnt dare give him a thnk you due to it reloading and id have to wait another 5 minutes
I also had long waits in viewing bluedevils trip report(as mentioned by another member here) After waiting a minute or two for the page to load, i was finally able to view the post. Then i gave a ty and i had to wait another 1 minute for it to reload again. Then if i gave another ty on the same thread, id again have to wait another 1 minute, as the page completely reloads after each ty.
I think i am done giving thank you,s until something gets fixed.
cainer i got the same pop up and had to shut down my computer I tried what Dick Dawson said to do but it was of little help thank for trying to help Dick any other suggestion help
As I mentioned about Dick Dawson's post, the huge image file still downloads to your PC no matter what your Image Resizer settings. This is all on Curious Dude and people wanting no file size limits of pictures.
I got the same memory error on my laptop, it's just a huge amount of data.
Holy shit, guys! I'm terribly sorry. I had no idea that my pictures were too big until I just saw this thread after being alerted to the problem you guys have had reading my thread on stuff around the Jaragua Hotel in Santo Domingo. I just tried to read that thread from home computer and I see what you mean. I will try to resize the photos and upload them again and re-do my thread ASAP.
Sorry for blowing up your computers.
