I just posted the next update for Prime Portal. This time I am trying out a photo gallery. Please let me know what you think of it. Is it easy to use? Does it work smootly? Do you like it? I know I put too many pictures in this first one, but I needed to see what it can do.
There are 73 pictures of destroyed armor to browse through.

Smooth as silk for me Don. My poor old dial up modem is a tad slow, but hey, I can’t blame you for that can I ?
I went through the What’s New “photo gallery” link and then chose the ‘armour wreckage’ link on the options page.
The thumbnails at the bottom of each page is a nice touch, but when I want to view something else out of a group of thumbnails I usually just go back a page after viewing a full size pick.
Nice selection of good reference shots. The Full size option really opens up some detail for us modellers.
Only thing else I would suggest is captioning the pics, especially the internal pics as there is little for a modeller to go on to work out what vehicle it was.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Great pictures. Do you have any more of T-55’s or T-72’s? I have a couple of suggestions. How about a opening up a new window to view each picture? It also might be easier to navigate if there were less thumbnails on each page. The site was smooth and I didn’t have any problems loading the pictures. Can’t wait to see more.

I do plan on doing the captions for the pictures. I was waiting on public feedback before I put too much effort into this particular gallery. [;)] This is the third one I have tried out, and even though it doesn’t quite hit all the features I wanted, its ease of use makes up for some.

I don’t know if this photo gallery has the option of opening in a new window. I will research that and see what I can do. I like that idea. I realized the thumb nails were going to be a bit of a problem after I had set up this group. I am going to see if I can cut it down a bit.
Keep the feedback coming!

I loved it and it was easy to navigate. I agree with the caption idea petbat, but writing 73 captions would certainly have to be a labour of love.
thnx much for the pics dbusack, got some great ideas from there. hope ta see ya around…
i agree. it loaded smoothly. i like the thumbnails also. it is good stuff.

Great stuff there. Alot that was not seen in any news here.
Great gallery your pics have been very helpful to me.
Great pictures. Thanx for sharing them with us. Bryan
Thank you all for the feedback. I have been given a lot of ideas on how to make the photo gallery run a bit smoother. I am going to try to incorporate many of those ideas into the next update.
Thanks again!

Well I have some good news. I am finishing up on a new photo gallery. This one is incorporating every suggestion I received on this forum. I will post a message and a new link as soon as it is ready to go (hopefully within a day or two).
Thanks again for all the feedback!
