Moloth - The M-Forums

In my opinion it was easier the old way. However, just my opinion.

muuuuch better image viewer

the one we have now is teh awesome!


in that vein, i'm adding pics to my gallery at an alarming rate...
do you, Russ, know of any other good image gallery apps that would work with my site?

Well, image links, like thumbnails for galleries, (instead of a single column of text links) would be nice.

plus, less clicks to get to the actual image itself would be cool...
right now its:
click on the gallery..
click on the image you want, which takes you to a 'gallery view'..
click AGAIN to see the actual image, full-size and out of the gallery.

As of right now, the main gallery index (http://www.moloth.com/pics.php ) is a random, single column list of text links... hard to see and very unorganized. It just makes it hard to find stuff.

if it fits with the overall theme of the site, it will be fine with me.

about the Blog... the weirdest thing: my FireFox at home does not let me use the text field when i attempt to write an entry. i have to use IE.

lol.. no no... it happened long before that.

and i tried to unbork it.

Consider it un-borked now.

And the WYSIWYG editor seems to work just fine for me in Firefox...perhaps you have an interfering extension or something?

Didn't you have this problem before?

Has anyone noticed that the pictures never come up in order.  Like with the Radiohead pics, I uploaded the cover first, then the back.  But like with every photo I upload, the second pic always comes up first, then the first one is second.  ?????

I think the secret order is...alphabetical. But yeah, it would be nice if they were displayed in the order they were uploaded.

Let me know if this can be fixed or not.  If not, I'll get rid of my .bmps and try to remember that we can only post .jpgs here.  I just had a bunch of lolcats pics that I was going to post and I guess that site only uses .bmps.  Is there an easy way to make them all jpgs?  Normally I have to open each picture in MSPaint and save them as .jpegs and hope it doesn't fuck up the picture.  If I just change the extension from jpeg to bmp will that break the picture, or is that an easier way to do it?

Thanks!  I'll keep the size thing in mind.  If you get too many large .bmps, is there a way to run a report or something so you could tell where the large files are and do some house cleaning?  Like maybe if they are over a week or two old, you could delete them?  Most people only look at stuff the first week or two they are on here anyway.  You'd only delete the really big pictures and only if you needed the space.  Just a thought.  I'll keep my .bmps to a minimum.  Just didn't want to have to resave all of my latest batch to jpegs.  I'll try to be more careful in the future.
