I'm totally with you, Bruce. I have posted here before on how the voting page is programmed, and this change seems to be addressing one of my main criticisms; the total size of the webpage. Because of the way it is programmed, the page has to pre-load all the full-gallery-size images at first call. With five full-gallery-size images in landscape orientation, the voting page easily amounts to 1.5 MB. By shrinking the large pics on the voting page, they reduce load time significantly.
What would have been better was to increase thumbnail size, and drop the pre-loading for an on-demand loading of the full-size images. However, this would mean a total deviation from the page design. The whole voting registration would need reprogramming. It's not a small task. :-( Jostein 2008/3/9, Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Has anyone noticed the big change in the voting mechanism.
