I made a lovely showcase gallery. Everything looked good when I previewed it in browser. When I uploaded it and tried it out, the larger images did not appear when I clicked the thumbnails. Anyone know why?

Post a link and we can take a look.
Did you use FW to upload? If not then it is likely you didn’t upload all the files required.

I used the Freeway upload command in the file menu.
Re. a link: I have reuploaded my old site because I didn’t want a non-functional page up for my business…if I can figure it out with the showcase gallery off-line, I’d prefer that!

Create a new page and copy the showcase stuff onto that - call it something obscure with no links to it abc123.html upload that and post a link.
Without seeing the underlying code we cant see what is going wrong.

I also notice that sometimes a picture in the gallery doesn’t show up in the thumbnail once the gallery is in a browser or on-line. Always a different picture.

Hi. I think the problem is just that I was impatient. The larger image just takes a few seconds to load. Anything I can do to speed that up, like maybe reduce quality of larger images?

You can get away with pretty massive compression, depending on the look of the photo. You can also use fairly small images and let the browser scale them up. Turn on Freeway’s live preview mode: View / Graphics Preview to see a live update of the file size as you change quality settings.

Thanks, that’s great! I will reduce those files a bit. I still have one picture that doesn’t come through, even in the thumbnails. Why would that be?

The link above no longer exists: I reduced the photo file sizes with good results and was able to upload the gallery without any missing pictures. Looks like everything is working. Thank you very much for the kind assistance.

It is a good idea to keep a close check on the ‘weight’ of your FW page - large image file sizes mean slow page load and impatient visitors leave.
If you look at the bottom of the sidebar there is a cog which has options that you can select such as - Show File Sizes
Enabling this will display the size of your pages (and images) in Bytes. Divide by 1000 to get Kb and 1000 again to get Mb
You shouldn’t need images much larger than 50-80Kb unless they are displayed large on the page and even then 200Kb is a bit much. Smaller images sub 20Kb is good. Ideally the total size of your page should be between 500Kb and 1Mb but that upper limit could well be pushing it for slower connections and mobiles.
