View Full Version : Something I'm working on...
DjD Jan 17th, 06, 10:48 PM I found some freeware that displays pictures. I've played with it and have something I would like everyones input on. It's not done but there is enough to see how it works. So far all the pic's are under 150K so for dialup it may be a bit slow but it only loads thumbs and 1 pic at a time... To toggle the slide show, hit your space bar. :beers:

HarleyD67 Jan 18th, 06, 12:06 AM I like it. The page is nice and clean. (not a bunch of ads that you can't even see the pic's) Cruising through was nice and easy.
DjD Jan 18th, 06, 08:52 AM Thanks Harley, I thought it was rather slick when I saw a sample of the program. Took a bit to figure out how to change colors and add my graphic though.
Anyone on dial-up have any comments? Too slow? Manageable? any problems with flash player?
TIA,

JimM Jan 18th, 06, 10:08 AM I "think" it's cool... is there only 1 picture there?
all i see is 1 pic and the same thumb, spacebar does nothing

That fooled me to start with too. You have to click on the "SF Rod and Custom".
I think it would be good as a link in a signature.

That helped me, I was stuck with that too.
The only bad thing Dennis is you can't save the pics... I'd love to get that other one of ratster (ain't no rat rod). can you email to me? I'm pm my email add'y to you.
DjD Jan 18th, 06, 12:14 PM Sorry for the confusion - Rojo got it, the folders are on the left (click on "SF Rod and Custom" will add others if this works out) and the "reflections" folder is like the home page with only the reflection picture in it.
Jake - as I add folders it will list them like it does the SF Rod and Custom and if you open one that has a lot of thumbnails or I have so many folders listed it scrolls in the example I have been referencing. That was one of the feature I really liked about this freeware.

That's actually a great thing... :D If I display shots of my car they won't end up being used as a scam auction on ebay or on someone elses web page without my approval. PM me and I'll email you the 3 maybe 4 pic's I have of that rod eville. Do you want the 3008x2000 versions? They are about 6meg each...
CFunK Jan 18th, 06, 01:12 PM What software would that be, Dennis?
Tim_in_NC Jan 18th, 06, 01:40 PM Yea...
I'd live to do something similar on my homepage displaying my rides, etc...
Pretty slick...

click Jan 18th, 06, 01:51 PM Neat program Dennis, it didnt work in my Netscape but works fine in IE, very seamless. :)

Someone can always find a way, Notice the difference.

12run Jan 18th, 06, 02:38 PM As a dial-up viewer I like the way the thumbs come up first, then the first picture. It gives you a chance to pick while the first one loads. Download time was about average for pictures. I'd have to say I like it.

Ya it's backwards!! ;) So you did a screen capture and pasted it into a graphics program I'd guess. I hadn't tested it for that yet, now I know... I was happy I didn't have to disable the back button with it...

Reading their forums was a big help setting it up beyond stock and making it work...

Thanks that's what I was hoping to hear...
CFunK Jan 18th, 06, 02:50 PM Ain't no way to fix that.
