Title: Lazy loading of images
Post by: nickern on May 01, 2021, 04:43:08 pm
Is it possible to remove the lazy loading of images when you are veiwing all images for a issue follwoing the "All pages >>" link on a issue?
I often view the comics on a phone or tablet and I also like to go to the all pages page as I dont want to have to click the next image link every time.

Well not a issue per say, but when i go to the all pages page id expect it to load all the images, so i can read the comic without waiting it to load the images. And on the phone loading the images takes a while as in newer releases each image is 2Mb in size and it seems (at least with my phone) it has issues loading in the images as quickly as it would on a pc.

Basically im asking, why not just load all images when we open the all pages page? :)

Have you considered loading the pdf instead?

PDFs are for sissies. Why, back in my day we used the raw bitmaps like God intended.

Indeed. Kids today will never know the feeling of downloading your porn as a dozen or so different files that need to be concatenated and run through uudecode, only to discover that decoding fails because “segment 07” is just another copy of segment 06 that the poster uploaded with the wrong number.

Supposedly, the browser is supposed to take care of all that for you... but we'll see what we can do! We'd prefer that the all-pages view didn't hit the server with 13 page loads in parallel.
