Title: Gallery / images number of thumbnail per page
Post by: ntpntpntp on October 13, 2019, 08:20:04 PM
Is there a setting to increase the number of pictures per page when going through the thumbnails of images on "My Gallery" and "My Images"?   

I always try and re-use images I've previously uploaded rather than upload again, but find that only 10 images per page really isn't enough, it's a pain having to go through so many pages to locate an image to grab its BB code to re-use in a post!

A good point. I use exactly the same strategy - using old pics rather than take new ones, and having more pictures per page would most certainly make life easier.  :thumbsup:

At some point when an outsider was faffing with it the page now only contains 10 images rather than the original 12 so there are now more pages in everyone's galleries

upped to 20 thumbs per page, but BTW in the top RH corner of your gallery you can now select 60 per page if you wish...

Yay - much betterer!    Thanks for that.  As an IT software developer I do like things to be configurable/selectable where applicable.

I upped it to 60 on my gallery.  It seems to have an effect on "My Images" too which is great, though I don't see the same dropdowns for number of items and sorting options on that page.

Yep, heaps better. Thanks!  :thumbsup:

I haven't tried on my laptop yet, but on my phone, when I select 60, it just keeps going back to 20, though.  ???

That's what happens on my phone. I can't see the button on the right hand side - it's behind the adverts!!

I clicked on the 'Go' button, to the right of 'Order' if that helps.

Unfortunately, I can't even see the go button, yet alone get to it. It's totally overlain by the advert.

Sorry but phones are for talking to people, use a 'pooter to look at t'internet!   :D  :D   

No problems at all here, Chrome on Win 8  (and fine on Win 10 too).

It looks like the style of the thumbnails page has changed from 4-up to 5-up, it that what's causing @Newportnobby (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264)
and @Bealman (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=255) problems?

I vote it stays as it is now (or maybe revert to 4-up but keep the larger number of items per page), it's much more useful.

Yep, just checked on me laptop. It's fine there. Changed it to 60 with the go button, no problem.

Heaps more convenient!!  :thumbsup:

I use a laptop. The attitude of some just makes me not care any more, though :unimpressed:

Unless you have a bog standard phone these days, phones are not really phones - they are little computers that have the ability to make phone calls.

Right ive done some recoding, hopefully now everyone will be happy still more pcis shown in the thumbnails but now only four per row... which should fix the advert bleed.

Phew!

It has indeed fixed it. Well done, and thank you!  :thumbsup:

My antiquated equipment is now fine, thanks.
I was never bothered about the number of thumbs in the first instance although it seemed a waste with 2 missing from every page thus increasing the total number of pages.

My major beef is I lost a lot of pics in the gallery revamp.

Even though I've been told they're not lost, I can't find em!!

There wasn't a revamp in the end, as it didn't work with the forum.  How many photo's are you missing?  Do you know when they went missing?
