Hey guys,

What do you think the max # of images I should use at a time for my slideshow if they are 694x244? I am worried about load times on slower machines or dial-up. Or is it really that big of a deal.

Thanks,
Trae

Re: Max # of images you should use?

Trae,

This depends on the size of the images in KB (compression) and not really the dimensions.

The images load on pageload, You can compare some example sites shown on this site. Look at the images (what size they are).

The dynamic display block is suited for top story, best products, etc. slideshows, but not to show a gallery of a lot of photos.

For showing a lot of photos, the module needs AJAX loading of photo's (Load them when they are needed).

We will try to implement this in future versions of the module, but still a lot of other features to implement, give support, clean up the code, make documentation, etc, etc.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
