yellowman Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I am afraid to anger the Possum, but -Is this WOTW #25 of #26, just for search concerning. -In one of my PCs the ForeFox is set to clear private data after closing the browser, so I am wondering if it is possible to use the click-able thumb code provided by PhotoBucket (this code links the thumbnail to the full image and don't download the image unless you click the thumb) instead of PDN Forum [thumb] code, so this will save our every time downloading the full size files from the hosting site, and then save the bandwidth of your account. Just a thought and is good for going green My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought and is good for going green Yes it's WOTW 26. I must have forgotten to change it on the template document. I seem to do that quite a bit. I think it has something to do with my advanced age. As far as changing to the photobucket thumb instead of the forum thumb, I'll look into it to see if it makes any difference in the way I set up the comp. As to it being a "green" issue, with only 272 views of that thread, I think there would be a negligible energy savings for people using a PC. I'm running on my laptop battery right now, and often do, but even then don't think the drain on my battery would be significant. I have noticed that at times a Photobucket thumb link does load slower than the forum thumb link, so that might even cause a greater use of energy in some cases. In the bigger scheme of things, if I could get my wife to turn a light off in a room when she leaves it, I would see a greater energy savings than any change I make on this forum. Oh, and this would not fall under the guidelines of special rule #5.

Possum Roadkill Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Congratulations everyone! Possum, I hope you didn't catch my cold. Feel better. So it was you ! No, I don't have a cold. I'm starting to feel better though. Waiting on a theme from Welshblue. This will be the last round of the WOTW in it's current format. I have some changes coming that I think everyone will enjoy. Just a little twist to keep things interesting. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
