Worlds largest ships image archi
Happy New Year All, after running Shipspotting.com for 7 months now we
have finally upgraded the look and feel of our joint community to a look that should reflect our common interest: ships. The overall ambition with Shipspotting.com is of course to build a central image archive for sharing our own images with fellow ship spotters all over the world. We have also reached a critical number of members about 300, which result in hourly and daily updates of the website with new postings of ships images. This is essential for a joint meeting place to get visitors to frequently use the website. A website with a random updates do not attract the same traffic. I hope you find the new design more attractive and the layout easier to navigate. On the top we have added tabs for: help, faq … Earlier we did not use thumbnail generation for the posted images which lead to heavy usage of download and you had to wait for hours before the webpage was downloaded with all the images "actually full size since we had not produced thumbnails – but used the full image as thumbnail". This is now taken care of and regenerated small 5 Kb thumbnails for all 15.000 images in our database. The result of this is 10 to 40 times faster downloading of webpage's and severe reduction in bandwidth usage. For the future we will start working with the search capabilities of our site. The search function as it is today is not very good. This will be improved and launched before the 1st of February. Best regards Webmaster Tomas |

Do we need to wear an anorak? No, that's for the train spotters. You need to wear knee-high black socks and sandals when standing on the beach looking for ships, just so everyone knows what you are. Amazing that they promote a website which now has lower bandwidth than before. Hmmm. Too many sticky keyboards last time round? -- Owamanga! |
