Well, I'm impressed, what have the backfooms guys and girls been up to in the photo gallery. I can no longer use the back button in I.E. browser, now just a new 'close window'. But the speed is incredible. If this is how Rosity is going to be on all galleries, forums etc, you have my vote. Nice one.........

The new tweak to the galleries was done to increase speed. Though the close link does not seem to work the little red x on the top of browser still works. Many will note that the thumbnails will open in a new window. If using Firefox a good feature is to right click and open in new tab. Makes surfing the galleries a lot faster.

I've got the same problem as Marlene...can't use "back to thumbnails" in Firefox...but I'm not complaining. The browsing is a lot smoother.

You can't use the back, because it has opened in a new window.

Yep, I know...and since I have popups disabled, it wont show. But I can live without that. That's not a problem :O)

It is much faster...gotta love that. I'm not sure I like this whole new window for an image thing though. I've already lost comments in progress when I accidently click on the gallery image and closed the window. I would suggest they disable that if possible. Overall, gallery and forum speed is quite improved. I have had some trouble accessing individual galleries and artist homepages. Long wait times and sometimes no connection. Other times, no trouble. Just letting you know, keep up the good work!

"I've already lost comments in progress when I accidently click on the gallery image and closed the window." Good point ah well there are always pros and cons, it does seem to speed thingd up.
