Always great!!  love the color scheme. The thumbnails loaded very slowly on my system... in steps... Jenny, instead of placing the big image as both the thumbnail and large image... make a small thumbnail, then have it enlarge to the big one... Antenna Lightbox gives you the option. the thumbnail goes in IMAGE (properties-main tab) and the large image goes in the ZOOMED - IMAGE (properties-zoom tab) I think it will load faster since it only needs tom load the little guys first.

Frank Thanks for the tip Frank, much appreciated! Its the first time I've used the Lightbox in Antenna and assumed that it automatically creates thumbnail images  I was wondering why the thumbnails loaded so slowly on the pages, now I know why. Can't believe I didn't see the second option aka "Zoomed-Image", I should look properly next time hey ;D |

Okay I have now replaced the thumbs with actual thumbnail images on the "Mounts" page and left the "Replica Teeth" page images as is because they are already quite small in size. Unless you think they are also loading too slowly Frank?
What I notice now since creating thumbnail images, is that it takes longer for the enlarged images to open up. Or am I imagining it?
Can you please have a look for me and tell me how it loads now on your side?

I does slow down the opening of the large image... I sent you an email that might help.

the thumbs load painfully slow for me on ADSL2, they look like on dialup when they gradually drop in from the top but once loaded the large image is instant when clicked

Thank you Abbie, Graham and Frank for checking the load time of the images. Abbie, thanks, glad you like it. Frank, thank you for your good advice, what will I do without you? I have now replaced all images with re-sized and optimized images. If you guys can please have a look again when you get a chance and let me know if the images load faster now. |

jenny, The images in the gallery load a bit faster, I think the issue is the number of thumbs, they have to load, after about 15 seconds the images are instant, during those 15 seconds still somewhat slow, an overall improvement in speed of 60%, probably only an issue on dial-ups or slower connections. What do you have set fort he lightbox dim speed? play with the settings there.

Thank you cybernalin, glad to hear that you like the site.
Abbie I didn't mess with any of the lightbox dim speeds,so guess it is set at
whatever the default settings are.
Thanks for the tip though, I will play around with it when I
get a chance.
