Messaging System and Lower Res

June 02 2005
I have added a messaging system. Just click [message] in the profile section on anyone's page or goto your FRIENDS page in the menu bar and click [message] under their photo.

Start messaging some people so I can see how the system holds up with heavy usage.

I also changed the way I show photos because it was eating up my bandwidth pretty quickly. Now, when you view a photo, it is a 400 pixel wide thumbnail instead of a full res image (like 1200pixels wide) that was scaled down to 400.

This so make the photo loading on pages MUCH MUCH faster because you are only downloading images that are about 1/9 of the size.

This will help me on bandwidth... which I know is going to be an issue in the future if this site takes off.

I am slowly adding more features. Let me know if you think of anything new!
