Iphone Smugmug webpage Issue

twincitiesphoto

For the longest time now (almost a year now) - when using the iphone formatted smugmug website for my online galleries I have not been able to get the 'SHOW ALL - NEWEST' link to work for me - it sits and spins and eventually times out.

However if I click the 'SHOW ALL - OLDEST' I immediately start seeing images displayed.

Could this have something to do with the fact that I have about 17,000 images and it just times out for some reason.

I would drill down into a particular gallery to view the images I want to see - however when I go that route the images are sorted oldest to newest so it takes forever to get to the newer images I want to view.

Is anyone else experiencing this time out issue when trying to use the SHOW ALL - NEWEST link?

Also - are there any enhancements planned for the iphone formatted site - one I would like to see is when viewing by gallery - being able to view images in ascending or descending order by photo date, date uploaded, etc.

Thanks.

It may just be your site - I was able to bring up the Show All Newest on several (although they all took longer than I expected). I will take a look though and see if come improvements can't be made.

I do have some plans for the iphone portal - but sorting was not in the cards (but could be). The main change would be to show a grid of small thumbs to pick from instead of the larger full size photos that we show now.

The point is that the galleries are completely useless on a mobile phone right now - even an iPhone with wifi - if you have more than a handful of pictures.

At least break it up into pages a phone and mobile connection can handle.

Understood - that is what the goal was by switching the page to use thumbnails. Pages of thumbs would certainly be better.

I'm curious - when you say it "may just be my site" - what is it about my site that would cause this problem???

It may be the number of photos you have uploaded - unsure yet.
