gallery page difficulties

Trying to load the gallery page brings Safari to its knees, both on a Mac laptop and iPad.

Our apologies for the gallery issue with that browser, but it seems to be the only effected this way. There is, however, an issue with the bulk upload utility for the gallery in that it returns an error message even though it does upload an image. Unfortunately, it only uploads one image at a time even when multiple images are selected for upload. The gallery is an add on to the vBulletin forum software and we're working on this issue now.

I was just about to start a thread, I can get the Gallery page TAB open but no images appear. Just the GALLERY title.

Re: gallery page difficulties

I was getting an infinite number of Gallery titles and Safari was just spin'n the ole beach ball.

This must be a real problem for a heavy hitter like you Nick, in addition to those of us looking forward to your posts!

Tonight, I got in and posted a photo. Something changed for the better.

Thanks Michael for the information and your magic touch.

Dave, I was getting an large number of Gallery titles as well. I figured it was a universal problem.

Glad to see its fixed!

Re: gallery page difficulties

No magic touch on my part with this, believe me. We've got another guy who handles the backend stuff on our websites, including MOL, and he got things straightened out with the gallery issues yesterday.

As for other backend things with MOL that might be slowing down page loads, etc, we're looking into the myriad of reasons that cause this sort of thing, from database size to hardware issues, etc and will be making some changes to address that in the very near future. We just want to make sure we don't do tweak "A" if tweak "B" is what will actually fix it. Determining that fix first is the hardest part of the whole process.
