Dear all, some of you must have experienced slow navigation on the site recently.
I have narrowed it down to a cause that may be highly possible.
The pictures that most of us upload are very heavy in size & with so many pictures being uploaded the site gets very heavy despite the fact that the management here has taken great care in creating huge file space.
It is therefore recommended that all those uploading pictures should resize them using an editing tool.
Most common is the Microsoft Office Picture Manager & the same is illustrated below.
Step 1: Select your file, right click to open in MS Office Pic Manager
Step 2: Click 'Edit Pictures' on the top
Step 3: Click 'Resize' on the right. (You can also Crop your picture to show more of the subject while taking out the unwanted surroundings)
Step 4: Select 'Predefined width x height' to choose the desired size. Click 'OK' once you have the size choosen. Save file and you are ready to upload. (Appropriate file sizes for the web are Document - Small and Web - Large)
