i wanted to know how much images does coppermine 1.4.27 handles maximum

i worried about the problems that can happen when you upload a lot of images in the gallery, so i wanted to know the maximum number of images it can handle when its on line.
can it affect its functionality when you upload more images in terms of users browsing the images.
so i need you help.

This question has been asked many times before. Many are worried about limits.

Coppermine in itself has no limits but the technology it is built on does. There are galleries out there with hundreds of thousands of images but there is only so much data you can put in a filesystem and more importantly, a database.

For the average user however the limits to the gallery are more down to the quality of your hosting. Good servers can cope with many connections. Good hosting has generous bandwidth limits, memory and upload limits. It is these restrictions that will most likely have an effect og your gallery or any website. It is also important with large galleries to have all your images at not too high a resolution and size or they will hammer bandwidth.

Please, alway post a link to your gallery with each support request as it gives us more to go on rather than give a generic reply.

You've made the Powered By footer invisible so please adjust the colour of that first.

You are also running a little behind on the updates. Your version is 1.4.25 while the current release is 1.4.27

However I would suggest you upgrade to 1.5.x as the clock is ticking for support on the 1.4.x line.

All your images are nive and small already so you probably will not have a problem. We don't know your server setup so cannot say for sure however.There are just too many variables. 60,000 images is not that many.
