| St John's R/C Flyers
of Newfoundland have nicely solved the problem of their unusually
large picture gallery on their club website.
When we visited the club on ModelFlight
#14, they had a gallery page which displayed no less than 54
thumbnail images of members' models which, to be honest, took rather a
long time to download (depending on your connection, of course) and could prove just a bit tedious in clicking back and forth between the
thumbnail and the larger version of the piccies.
Now their webmaster (what a nice term
that is!), Steve, has re-designed the page so that initially you
are presented with a simple list of six photo-albums covering the club's
five major annual events and one for the previous year's archive:  On
selecting a particular album, up comes a smaller collection of
thumbnails from which you can select a single image to view in a larger
format as usual:
In addition, there is an option to skip the thumbnails
if you have a fast connection and you then go straight to a page on
which you can scroll to all the images in that album at their larger size:

By
the way, one of the albums covers a float event which is particularly
interesting for those of us who rarely, if ever, see this type of model,
and there are a few helicopters about. Want
