[Solved]: Very Slow Image and button loads since upgrading to 1.3.1

[vrviji]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the Gallery images ( thumbnails and button graphics ) take longer to load now ? I tried opening one other 1.3.1 gallery and noticed the same thing. But I can load images from other ( non Coppermine Gallery site ) fine.  Please let me know if anyone else has noticed this observable difference in load times now.

I am also checking with my ISP about this - but since all other sites do not have a problem - they do not really want to talk to me. So, maybe - just maybe - something here in Coppermine has changed.

P.S. I am new at this - so may have made mistakes. Am willing to be corrected.

Thanks,

Your site loaded at a speed I would expect for me.  Try using one of the other themes, that use less formatting and images, like water drop or classic, and see if that helps.

Thanks - I did switch to the water drop theme. And you know what ? I like it. Now even if it is slow loading the buttons - I dont have to worry, since there are ... NO buttons ! Excellent. And the water drop theme is pretty pleasant too. Wish I could turn down the white background a little and make it a little greyer or creamier - just to take off the White glare. Like the background of this forum, which is easier on the eyes. Any suggestions ?

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Yes, open your water_drop/stlye.css, and change the background colour of these sections;

Body, maintable, tableb, and tableb_compact.  Replace the current settings, which are #FFF, or  F2F5F7, to something like #D6D6D6 for a mild grey, or #D0DBFF for a very pale blue.

Yes, it did the trick ! Thanks very much.
