I seriously dislike FLASH! [/quote]
Fine, that's your prerogative.
Flash is no buggier than anything else out there, did you actually try? As to resource hogs: what takes up the real resources, bandwidth, memory, computer, cpu, etc., is the images, especially if you want to maintain some quality.
Anyway, it is easy to criticize, which, BTW, I don't mind. However, if you do, also provide a solution. This is where I get annoyed, when people just tell you what you do is crap, but don't come up with an alternative. IOW, give me a good alternative without having to go through hoops and loops of programming, without anyone taking over my site completely or easily.
Jeez. Maybe you shouldn't post when you're in an uncaring mood with regards to feelings of other people.
Funnily enough, it is for myself in the first place. And if anybody ever wants to see my stuff, essentially when I invite them to do so, I am sure they will have adequate computers and adequate screens to be able to view my stuff the way it should be seen according to my personal ideas about this.
But as I said. If you do have a good alternative to Flash, with a few sample sites where this works really well, I will gladly look into that. If not, why even bother to post your message.
Regards, Wim

Quote:Sure, you can make some nice designs, but boy, how annoying, all those flash sites from photographers. They still take ages to load, flash is still buggy as hell and a big resource hog.

Quote: great, to have your computer use all its energy slurping CPU power just to show someone's pictures. Right.

Quote:I would advice AGAINST flash, as it is such a bother. And then at least your photos can be seen by all people, with whatever browser and device they use navigate to your site. Remember that websites are for OTHERS, not for yourself.
