Hi Kevin, For awhile there were a number of new features being implemented fastly and furiously on Brickshelf, but no word of any new ones for awhile yet ... there are two items in particular that I've been holding out for: (1) Is there going to be (...)

(...) Use Mozilla. It's much, much better than Netscape 4.x. Or if you want to stick with the Netscape brand, upgrade to Netscape 7 - it's pretty much the same thing as Mozilla. The e-mail/news functionality in Mozilla is very similar to Netscape (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Um, that's just what javascript is - client-side script. A script that runs on the client, i.e. browser. I think you mean to say server-side scripting (e.g. CGI). Not that there's anything wrong with Javascript. One thing you might consider is (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.publish)

| | Re: Is Brickshelf slow for anyone else lately?
|

I agree, it is slower. I think it would probably be a big help if Kevin would limit the sizes of images uploaded. Perhaps they could just be automatically resized to no bigger than 640x480, the way the thumbnails are generated. (If the larger image (...)

(...) Anything in excess of 640x480 is too big for most users. Screen size is not the only issue - consider also bandwidth. The file size grows exponentially as an image grows. (Twice the width = 4 times the size, 3x width = 9x size, etc.) (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Agree, agree, agree, and agree. Just thought I'd put in that the only other concievable reason I could think of for pictures in excess of 800x600 would be for printing/photoediting purposes. But since that only occurrs once in a blue moon (IE (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I go for 800x600 or smaller generally. Sometimes a large picture is worthwhile, but if you are including the pictures in-line in a website, you might want to have a smaller picture with a link to the big one. Cropping is one of the best ways (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I typically do 640x480 or smaller, with a fairly heavy jpeg compression (usually 30 to 50%) so my images fall in the 30-60K range. I prefer to keep them a little smaller and sacrifice a little bit of quality, then have them over 80K and chew (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I think you can show good detail with an image of 80 to 120 KB, but it depends on the picture. Some look better/worse than others. On my website, I limit my big, detailed pics to 120 KB max. That's just my preference. TJ p.s. I use dial-up :-( (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.publish)
