Site Slowing Down?

[Tokoloshe Safaris]

I like to make sure that our advertising dollars are well spent. After reading the different comments considering the slowness of this site I see that I have something to be concerned about.

Although it is getting better, since it is media items that slows it down would it not be an idea to limit the number of media posts, ie pictures? I sometimes see dozens in a row from outfitters usually, with an obvious commercial intent. No discussion, no participation in conversations, just screeds of pictures. Not my favourite.

Its the outfitters that pay for this site to exist is it not?
We pay a lot of money ro be able to post offers etc. Pics are the best marketing
Obviously way better than listing the animals we have see or hunted or as a means to share an experience or a special event that happened

I think putting rules on the size of pics would be a better avenue to follow

I am not a marketing expert, but I do a lot of it on all the forums and measure the results. By FAR the most effective is a single interesting picture with a brief story about it. For example - ‘look at this magnificent 44” sable our client got last week guys, was on the stalk on our Limpopo property for 6 hours to get him”.
The another. I will say hands down I will be far more interested to see that, probably interact on it. I will remember it and will appreciate the effort you went to far more than a reel of mere photos.

I think size limit on pictures might work well, I see sometimes pictures so big I have to scroll to the side to see what I am missing

Now, given that pearl, can you please write an instructional memo for those like minded members on how to resize their photos before they post them. Just kidding.

I found a real easy way to do this.

Create a account on Imager and then upload the photos there first. On the upload select to resize them and select Message Boards.

Then use their link to post the photos here

Today, the site is running a little sketchy again.
