Robin, for loading, I found the quickest way is to not look at them. Just right click on it and pick "save target as". And let the timer start on it and go to the next one while that is running. The day before I was clicking on the title, the pic would show on the screen (slow) then I would try "save pic as", save it, then have to go back (slow). Took ages to do one pic. Also note they list the given size in kb of the pic. You can let a couple biggies download while you are working on the quick small ones. It all depends on how much bandwidth you have, and your download speeds. And I don't care what anyone says, I think time of day matters (consider all 3 time zones in this even though you live in one :) This is where they DO control things. During business hours (again, all 3 time zones) companies get the choice electronic traffic lanes as they pay more. If you have cable internet, I -know- for sure it depends on how much 'traffic' there is on the wire in your particular section (i.e. neighborhood area). The more that are on there, the skinner and slower your flow is. That said. Beware on how much total downloading you do because I know comcast is looking at all their customers on how much downloading totals they do a month and are tracking it. Their justification is that the only people going over 2G a month are porno perverts and dvd movie mavens. I was inspired by what you said in one post that you were just loading everything for one day you could click on. So Sunday I was trying that. Didn't get every single thing, but quite a bit, and that folder is 680mb (1/2 G) and I am tired of downloading for just that one day, I give up on it, just tried to get a good sampling across the list. Now looking at them will take FOREVER! Plus, you give permission for the feds to access -your- computer to check you out when you download their stuff :( |

robin, they are a bit large and they stretch the screen. I don't even see the whole things I'm too lazy and unmotivated to scroll. At DI large images only stretch the post they are in and the posts before and after the stretchy post aren't affected, still they can be genourmous and somewhat obnoxious in posts. Here it stretches the entire page so the text in all the posts on the page stretches and a person has to scroll back and forth, left to right, to read each line after line, how much depending on how wide the widest image posted on the page is. I was kind of rude to robby once some time ago when I was going behind people and making their videos show in their posts, and I'd shrank some of his images (nice ones!) that were stretching the page some (Earth's Crust Collapsing thread) to make the reading easier as there was a substantial amount of information in places. I didn't mind the images at all just the text spreading out like it did. I kind of griped about it in a PM. Sorry I was pushy about it robby. :$ Back then I wished that everyone could learn to post videos on their own so they'd show here at the group and I wouldn't have to or need to do it to make them show, heh. :D I got an idea lately, though, for large images, and that's the toggle button/feature. I've used it several times, the last time being in the Spiderwort thread toggling a lengthy historical account relating to Spiderwort. It's done with simple image tags and there's a button to make it easier. You can add an equal sign to the right side of the word 'spoiler' then write text which will be displayed on the blue toggle bar. When person clicks they'll see the full test or image in it's entirety, and when they click it again, if they choose to, it will tuck back into the toggle bar. It can be left open if a person wants it open until the person exits the page. On the button bar in the editor above the button is called 'Spoiler', and is between 'Divider' and the font selection menu at the bottom left and it is directly under the strikethrough key above, which is an S with a strike through it. Here's an example. Robby posted a radiation dose chart and it was hard on my eyes to read and I wanted to read it. Since it was an image as opposed to copied text it wasn't a matter of hitting control = (=/+), which increases the text on a page. I could have just used my magnifier but I also wanted to share the chart at DI so I took it to photoshop and used the resizing feature to make it bigger. At DI, it stretched the post but only the post, not the page. I'll put it in a spoiler (toggler) now, and you can click on it to see the Radiation Dose Chart enlarged. Radiation Dose Chart. Click to view. Click again to close. This is just a test to see how much text I can type into this spoiler bar. I am wondering if it will flow over to the next line and if my spaces between sentences are still 'two' and not just 'one'. I'm going to type, and type, and type, until I'm satisfied with the amount for testing. I should also try to test posting an icon while I'm at it. Do image tags work here? Will see in a minute. Preview tells me no, image tags do not work here in this space. What's under all this text? Click and see : ) The genourmous image in the above post: click to see pic Notice that while open the screen stretches and while closed it returns to normal. I made a little tutorial will try to post it later. I think it might help with those extra large images. It's not written in stone or anything but it's an alternative to posting super huge files eh. 87 Dreams of a Lifetime Night Becomes Her Dimension D I should probably do this to those 'They Live' video segments. |

Energy? What energy? lols. I temporarily toggled the large file image so you can see the difference in the page. What I didn't realize until after posting was that in my preview before posting, the page was normal size when I closed the toggle, but after posting everything returned to s-t-r-e-t-c-h due to the large image in the above post and so it kind of lost the point. I just want you to be able to see the difference by testing it out (the spoiler/toggle) on what's now a normal size page. You can remove the toggle code from the quote post for practice if you like and to see how it works. I did take some screen shots for a tutorial on using the spoiler. I don't know when I'll get to posting it though... I don't want to come across as if you 'have to' do it, but I am trying to suggest that for ease of reading posts with written text it would make it much less aggravating by containing it to where it can be opened and inspected then shut again if a person wants to go on and read with ease (and read with ease any text in posts previous to the large image on the page). I wish I could get the css code that the Icke forum uses to swell the individual post only in the case of large images, but until then maybe toggling would be a good alternative. I just consider these things. You know, it's like why I think it's an important factor to be able to post a video on-site in a post, rather than a link that you have to travel to youtube to see a video. People are more likely to watch and/or re-watch a video and absorb the ideas better, that can play in the post they're reading here at the forum than to have to travel out to see it. At least I found it was the case with me and so figured it was likely with others too. It doesn't mean I watch all videos that get posted here at Free Thinkers either, far from it. It depends on subject matter and point. Same goes with ease of reading, that is, the large file images are wonderful for a couple things, they can be further magnified for getting better detail to work with in analyzing, yet, they are so big they interfere with the page by stretching it and any posts with information or a substantial amount of text is going to be affected by it. It's more difficult to absorb what's written when it's so hard to get through it so to speak. It's just why I've been trying to think of ways we can deal with it so we have the best of both, large images and ease of reading too. You also asked about pages loading (if anyone had any difficulty) which was valid too, imo, because people with slower computers might have difficulty with it. |
