Important Docs question

Postby Shieba » 08/21/2015 4:10 PM

So, uh, I have a slight problem.

As some people know, I'm on a modem with limited bandwidth as well, so many images on one page are a no-go for my computer. My computer already almost breaks under my breeding records and now that I want to expand my Important Documents, things are getting more difficult.

Since we're only allowed to have a single thread, I wanted to ask if I could make something weird like...one post per page with images, then 14 empty posts to fill up the page and then continue on the next page in the same pattern. That, of course, might make things look weird - I'll end up with a LOT of pages and if someone has no clue what to expect they will just see lotsa empty posts and not check the next page for more records. =/ But my computer can't handle things anymore, so I dunno what else to do.

Note that linking pets with text links doesn't work, as the images are on Photobucket and the photobucket page displays empty screens when I click on links, so I do have to actually post all pictures. =/

Is my plan okay? Anything I should rather try?

Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

The best thing to do would be to just make your records without images at all. Just list the breeders, bred pets' names, and how many offspring they had. Staff can always verify using just post names if they think anything looks off. Not paying the images is fine.

Oh, that's allowed? That's awesome! Though that... doesn't help me with wanting to use my Imp Docs as a place to keep track of all my pets, really. XD; Which is the reason I want to expand them in the first place - my pen is grossly out of date and I don't even know anymore if I own half the stuff there. Which is because updating the last page of my pen has become 99,9% impossible because of too many images, yeah. =/ So I thought about outsourcing and spreading my pets out. But then I tried editing my Imp docs today and just add my single Sov breeding and my computer went "Nope, you already have the other species and their breedings here" and crashed the browser. Which showed me that listing all my pets on one page is impossible. My pen shows me that even all my Diosol basically break stuff, after all.

But thanks you a lot for your help; this is already really good to know and makes at least some things better! =D

If you want to spread things out (and this goes even for your pen, too), you could limit how many pets are listed in each post? My pen is styled to have a single pet per post, since that's easiest for me. (Usually just in whatever order I obtain them.) You could do that, or have something like five pets per post?

This is actually a really neat idea! o3o That way I could probably avoid having any empty posts and still keep it to one species per page. =D I'm totally gonna do that, thanks so much!
