Time is up. You didn’t flood the thread. Some how I managed to sneak under the radar.

🆒

Shush it Missy! Otherwise you go into the chamber.

You may _say_ that **TiggrKitty** ’s hot. But these things need proving… 😛

Number One demands proof!

Old news. I’ve known it for a while now. She has provided at least one link to a picture that I can recall. Smokin’ hot.

Okay, the website [http://www.1728.com/bratpack.htm](http://www.1728.com/bratpack.htm)  
has been updated.

**harmless**  
Could you reduce the size of the images to around a 200 or 300 pixel height and width? I have adjusted the images of tiggrkitty and ghanima accordingly but they still require their full file size when the page loads. When we get 15 of those images on there, page loading will be slow even by cable connection standards (plus the fact that I am concerned about excessive bandwidth usage when the page will be so outrageously popular that it will get thousands of visits per hour).

Also, harmless, you don’t have to take the time or trouble to make a graphic for me. I have chosen my own.

Ha!  
Nice! 😛

I like the newest member at the bottom of the page. 😉

As for the image sizes all you have to do is resize them in any paint program.  
You could make them thumbnails going to the larger image, that way the page will load quicker, but people will still have the option to check out the larger ladies. 😉😃

**harmless**  
Resizing the images in a paint program makes the images lose a LOT of detail.  
Thumbnails are okay but then I’ll have to make additional pages for the full-sized images.  
Another consideration is putting the Bratpack Website in its own directory at [www.1728.com](http://www.1728.com) just to keep everything manageable. As it is, my site has about 150 pages with I don’t know how many graphics and it is ALL in the same directory. If I do put it in a new directory, perhaps adding a password might be a good idea.

In that case, they will lose detail whether I do it or you do it.  
If you do a thumbnail, just link it straight to the jpg and don’t worry about giving it it’s own page.

Or…new thought: Link them directly to the page I’ve already made and I can just include a link back to yours for when people are done viewing…or make it just open to the new page \<target=resource window\> that can just be closed off when done.

Sounds like we do our sites the same way.  
Fun, ain’t it? 😃  
I have so many images I’ve loaded just specifically for the SDMB I probably have a lot that I’ve forgotten about.  
I’ve really got to clean up my server.

Hi folks.  
The new address for the Official Doper Brat Pack™ Website is:  
[http://www.1728.com/bratpack/bratpack.htm](http://www.1728.com/bratpack/bratpack.htm)

By the way **harmless** , the reason I keep almost everything in the same directory on my site is that I think (maybe I’m wrong) that it makes the site faster loading. As far as loading time, I _know_ I have a fast site. Maybe if I had a huge amount of directories then I’d only have a “half-fast” site. (Say it aloud LOL)

Has anyone visited the “new and improved” Bratpack™ website?  
I’m asking because it seems that clicking on the pictures of TiggrKitty and Ghanima will just lead you to an error message _when using Internet Explorer_. I tested these with Firefox and Netscape and the links worked fine.  
Anyone else having problems? You may _not_ have problems because a great majority of “Dopers” do not use Internet Explorer for a browser. (However, I think about 92% of all Internet users have IE as a browser).

I just tested this on IE, and it worked fine. Each image popped up in a new browser window when I clicked on it.
