Hey Bob!
It parses the entire upload - and then will create the thumbnails - then will download the original... If your combined total exceeds 20MB (which - I have to be honest -
IS HUGE!) - it will use a persistent connection to re-download from your computer in background (as long as you stay logged in during that time!!
)
As for the Album pics on the opening page.. I've programmed to set that up as "Random" - so it grabs the "next" on each view. I could parse as latest, or "next" - but that seems silly - as it introduces server load and accomplishes nothing.. So - I leave them as "random"...
Make sense???
Best to you - and my thanks again for all your input and testing!! (and yep - I read your comments about the PGCA Memberships... It's a long reply I need to post - BUT - I already have the code in place to do the automatic part.. But - well...??
)
Best to you!
John
