[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 619133, member: 4230"]Good luck my friend :) The single biggest problem i had with my images are the file size of the image. Regardless of the size as shown on the page, the files sizes add up. I found once i had a dozen or so images posted, the page took a minute, 2 minutes ... and longer for all the images on the page to show up. If you can find a small enough file size to still show detail on the coin, thats half the battle right there. i like to enable the viewer to click the images for larger DPI images. i just couldnt do that with 10 or more 1MB or larger files all trying to download at the same time. I ended up going with thumbnails. I have an image program that will automaticaly save the original image down to 10% of its original size (as well as create my watermark at 100% for me) then i show my thumbnails all at the same dimensions on the page. with all the thumbnails at around 10-25 kb's, loading the pages is so very much faster. hows the code writing coming? are you litteraly writing the code in notepad, or do you have a GUI app that writes it for you? Without the app writing if for me.. i just couldnt do it look forward to seeing the site! Good luck :thumb:[/QUOTE]
