Always been a bit of a pain to me, but there is likely a valid reason.

But the inserting photos as thumbnails, they take forever to load, really annoys me.

Any way to get rid of this option and just have all photos inserted as a certain size?

I know it's a little off topic but still photo related I just want to know if it's me being a nub before i create a thread, But is there an option to have a photo gallery on your profile page similar to social media

Hello,

I am not sure what the question here is. If you want to add photos as full size in a batch, simply select it at the top of your photo list :) I believe I have misunderstood what was asked though.

Thanks.

I mean when someone uploads as a thumbnail, it takes forever for it to open when you click on it. I think it would be a much better option to have all photos upload as a full photo )limited to a certain size).

Hello @aussieant32

Why not just upload all your photos and click the "Insert all images as full" button? This will prevent the popup window. I can look into speeding it up though.

Thanks.

@The reffuge I also had a sub question with the photo's as to weather or not that on our profile pages we could have an image gallery similar to that of our social media pages

Hello @Kirky,

This is currently being looked into. You will see something shortly though.

Thanks.

Hello @aussieant32,

This is some information for anyone who is interested. The lightbox (image viewer) loads thumbnails as they are clicked. It does NOT preload them.

If images were preloaded, the lightbox would display images instantly. But here is an example of what issues that will cause.

Thread has 50mb of images in total.

Now: Thread is loaded and each image is loaded when clicked. This means there is a delay in the image loading, but the thread loads up quickly.

Preload: You must download 50mb of data before the thread displays. This will cause the thread to take 2 - 3 minutes before anything can be viewed.

Thanks.
