Having checked various other entries, this would appear to be the case in general, unlike the wild flower entries which show complete photos. (There appears to be no facility to click on the fungi A-Z photos to show full size, or full photo.  ). |
The images are all cropped to have the same aspect ratio, so they will fit on a templated page properly, without pushing off to one side etc. This means that potrait or very wide images wll be cropped back to a 4:3 ratio. Teh wildflower photos all fit, because I chose oriinal pics that were already about 4:3. If you click on the small photos on the A-Z identifier pages
http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/identify/fungi or the species main page then you should be able to see a full image uncropped

I would say my broadband speed is fairly average, but it is slightly disconcerting when the computer locks up for an unspecified length of time. Newcomers may be disinclined to use these pages, (or indeed try "Control/Alt/Delete", as I originally did several times before I eventually realised what was happening).
Could some sort of message be considered for addition to each page, saying something like "page downloading - please wait", or maybe a simple moving graphic similar to the windows egg timer? |
What browser are you using? I think we might be getting some issues with safari. The totla page sizes sholdn't be more than about 200kb, so they should load within a few seconds, but I'll take a look and see if we can add a timer
