Chris…a question….. What’s the Sponsors Image above Recent Images? The cascading waterfall image never changes? Are we sponsored by Thames Water…..oh no ….that water looks too clean for them.  Could not that box be changed to another Random image? Or call it Todays Selected Photo…..but still make it Random. Having another changing image on the front page might add a bit more variety …as the Recent images themselves are not turning over very often.  Another question…..is it just my computer that takes an age to load Recent Topics? The website Homepage initially opens immediately but if I then select Recent Topics button …it sits for 8 seconds before opening that screen.

It does take an age to load! Page processed in 9.3994 seconds (97% database + 3% PHP). 37008 queries executed. I will have a look and see whether the logic can be improved to speed it up. The "sponsor's image" is one of JK's - I guess he chose it originally and it has never changed. We already have a random image at the bottom of the menu - options would be to move the random to the top and do away with the sponsor's image, have a carousel of images changing every 2 or 3 seconds or an occasional change of image - daily or weekly?

I have found the issue with the recent topics - the "comments" facility on the images was taking ages to find any new comments, having to scan through all images and any comments. Since this facility is rarely if ever used, I have disabled the "new comments" indicator. Makes the page load MUCH faster! The comment on an image is still there via the link under every image in the posts.

My vote would be to move Random image to Sponsors spot.

Yes would be happy with that idea.

OK - as a starter for 10 I have put the random image at the top of the recent images. I will look at the impact of a carousel on loading times - this would show a series of random images, like the splash page.
