Anytime Alter, glad to help

Yea, that main page might work real well for you...has a nice flow to the sponsor link

Nope, I don't find that link blind at all...clearly states the name of the sponsor site...without using the word 'Enter'. Looks good to me!

My apologies on the hosting issue. I was mis-remembering something...would have sworn I'd read something on this board about them being a free host. Just ran some board searches and didn't find a thing about that being an issue. Quite the opposite...looks like a few board members are very happy customers over there. Sorry about the mis-information...doh

The video loads extremely slowly for me and the pics are unnecessarily large, you could trim them down for load times and to save you on bandwidth.

I don't know, but most linklists only require 500-600 pixel minimum on the long side, and yours has over 1000 pixels. You don't HAVE to reduce your pics in size, but you could.

But definitley listen to Useless and make your galleries easier to find.

For now, I'd chalk up the hosting issue to myself and UW both mis-remembering something else. Must have been a host with a similar name or something...no idea

Not aware of any black/white lists for hosting, but usually a board search will return any relevant info. Which in this case, was all good stuff for your host

Three things I noticed:

Your thumbs are 50kbs on your main.html page.

Also, the girl in the photoset is a pretty well known porn starlet, so a percentage of surfers won't believe your sales pitch promising amateurs.

Finally, your index.html page is a little text intensive. Hard to find the nav links and hard to read the text.

Anyway, good luck on your site

I know exactly what you're talking about and I can't find that damned thread either. Hmmm...

Anyway, my 1.5 cents on this free site is that I don't like having to read in order to find the gallery links. They currently look like sponsor links to me because they are mixed in with that text block. The faster a reviewer can find his/her way through your site, the better. When we have to slow down to find something, we find other problems.

I did find the vid a bit slow to load, but it wasn't that bad. It is a rather large vid for a free site...which might contribute to the seemingly slow load times.

Yea UW, I would have sworn I'd seen something. But, as mentioned...only found glowing reviews on a search. We're not crazy buddy...it's everyone else
