Photo testing

Those three pics had virtually no delay when being displayed. I am still trying to figure out why photos are so slow to be displayed in my posts.

TD, they all opened instantly for me. Some beautiful Rhubarb there! Bet it would make a great pie, too....

Maybe I am on to something. My phone takes high resolution photos which are large files. For the photos above I like loaded them onto my PC and used a program to change them to 1024 size so maybe that is why they load faster.

You may be on to something there, TD! When I load photos to the site, I use my photo editor to reduce their size by using the "Save for Web" option - that reduces a 1800x1200 pixels photo that is 4.5Mb down to 920Kb. That should make them load much faster, as well as reducing data storage space.

Thanks. Sounds like that might do it.

Installed a photo resizer app on my phone. Let's see what happens with this resized photo. It was over 5 Megabytes and now is less than one Megabyte.

It worked. Now for some pics of the SFG.

OhioGardener 6/19/2020, 11:57 am

Yes, pops up instantly.

Eureka!!! Success!!! Problem solved (I think).

Your gardens are looking good. In this picture it appears the plants are in pots instead of in the soil, is that correct?

I started them in solo cups. When transplanted I cut off the bottom part of the cups. The top part then provides some protection from cut worms, etc.

Now what would be nice would be to find a setting in the Forumotion code that will force images not to exceed a certain size and even resize them before they are saved to Servimg.

OhioGardener 6/19/2020, 1:17 pm

TD, that would probably have to be a setting in the https://servimg.com/ that hosts the images. I don't know if they have a way to limit image size, or not. Most forums that I participate in limit image to 1Mb or less, but I have never seen a limit when I upload a picture here using the servimg site.

Way back in the old days, you were limited to the size picture you could load. You would get a warning that it was too large. Boffer referred us all to a free program that would resize the pictures if they were to byte hungry so they would load. After a change in computers, I no longer have that program so if anyone knows a good free resizing program let me know.

Testing a large file, 7.3Mb

Testing a small file, 900Kb

Appears as though the loading of photos is now working properly. I just logged on and clicked on my "2020 SFG in Brooks" thread and every picture loaded as it used to. Quickly.

I added some new code to the forum programming. Seems to do the job but one never knows if there will be other implications when changes are made So if anyone sees a problem let Sanderson, OhioGardener or me know.

Don't know why but it is now back to slow when loading pictures. But I do thank you for trying.
