I have great broadband. A thread on this forum with loads of pictures is still very slow to load - appearing band by band - the only website I use that does that. I imagine a photo-heavy page, with images loaded by users, on a site not specifically for photo sharing, is going to have a lot of problems. I imagine it would present a grand headache for any designer of a regular forum. That is why platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Snapchat etc are viable - for image sharing that most normal websites could never support. My two cents.
Can I try an experiment, please, to see if my re-sized photo is easier to load for those using this thread, than a "straight from camera phone" one? I don't want to bother to re-size if it's not necessary, but I'm very happy to do so if it helps.

Feedback would be very useful...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Li, I don't really understand what you're asking. However, both loaded fine but the second one looks like a highly magnified enlargement of a small area
Some feedback from Nora on the issues and suggestions raised on this thread would be useful. I would say that I have been able to see the majority of pictures posted recently but, that being said, there hasn't been much on the real garden gallery thread lately.
@B3, the first photo is much bigger (in terms of megapixels) than the second. I'd put the second photo (which is indeed a close-up of a fungus) through a photo compressing program before loading it on here.
Do you usually have trouble with photos loading slowly on the forum? The question was whether the compressed photo loaded faster, for those with slow internet, than the non-compressed one.

They both loaded slowly but surely! I have already seen the fungus one on another thread but it loaded quicker than that, maybe because there was only one loading not two. I think it would have been better to have the same photo, one normal and one re-sized one, to download at the same time.
That's strange, just looked again and the snow scene is still there, but the red fungus one has gone! Or are you editing?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
