Hi,
I know you limit the number of messages or gallery photos per page to avoid long waits for people using dialup for internet access.

However, since I have faster access, I would love to be able to specify a larger number of items per page when checking out large galleries or long message topics.

Perhaps a choice option on the first page of the photo gallery or on the message board topic page for the convenience of those who can handle larger downloads could be added? Please? (:D

Thanks,
Linda

I agree. On some days almost 40 pages of photos are uploaded. It takes a LONG time to scroll down 40 pages to find the most interesting photos. I wish that the thumbnails could be presented with less written information and in a more dynamic way. A good example could be flickr.com.

Have you tried the "To view 3d wall of images click here" (near the top of gallery pages)? The thumbnails take up the majority of the bandwidth, so limiting text doesn't save much time.

David, I don't want to eliminate the text (I rather feel I learn more when I can read what I'm looking at), I would rather like to see more at one go...so to speak. Also, the image wall doesn't address seeing more messages per page too. Can't some kind of option be offered?

Thanks,
Linda
