It is suddenly taking my front page of the forum 10 to 20 seconds or more to load. The header title comes on fast as usual but it's the rest of the page you have to wait for. If you refresh the page after it has loaded then it takes as long again. The upload figures at the bottom of the page show this: Page processed in 0.2610 seconds (9% database + 91% PHP). 22 queries executed. I had just altered the link colours in the beige theme when this started happening but it makes no difference which style I use they are all just as slow. Woul someone mind clicking on my link and letting me know what happens in case it's just me. http://yourmodelrailway.net/ Last edited on Wed Sep 3rd, 2008 03:57 pm by Robert |

Please ignore the above. After I had posted I shut my computer down and then reloaded everything and all is back to normal. Had me going there for a few of minutes.

Hi Bob, The delay is caused by all those links to images on the Photobucket site. Everything depends on the mood the Photobucket server is in.  If you put the pictures on your own Data 1 hosting instead they will all load much faster. You created a folder called img for that very purpose. regards, Martin.

Even images from lets say.. paypal for buttons can slow it down. You can still use the paypal button but link to it locally as Martin is saying. And the useless pixel shim they have in there... not needed.

can I have separate folders for different sets of images as I don't want to get them all mixed up.

It's just the same as on your own computer. But make the names all lower case and without any spaces in them. Just a..z and 0..9 and underscores. regards, Martin.

Thanks Martin, I have just put 80 pictures in a new directory, sizes 160 width and 400 width ready for when I need them in the new front page. I will leave the others linked to photobucket until then. Too much trouble to change all those links now. Bob

You don't have to do an absolute link (entire http bla bla), do a relative. If it's in the images directory all you need to do is:

Sure, looks like yours doesn't have the useless pixel shim so all you have to do is take the attached image and put it in your images directory and change this:
to this:

Thanks Jim. That looks like I could also use my own image instead of the Paypal one and just give it the same name.

If it's in the images directory all you need to do is: Hi Jim, That doesn't work on many forum pages if "Search Engine Friendly URLs" is turned on. If the user clicks a link to arrive at the page containing the image, the browser will be looking for:
or similar, and not find it. regards, Martin.

Then the proper way would be in the attachment below. I can't use the variable in a post because it will be translated. Good catch Martin- Attachment: captured.jpg (Downloaded 21 times)
