Hate to switch but had to
« on: July 27, 2004, 12:59:43 »
Even though I think album.pl is one of the easiest, most outstanding gallery scripts available...even to the point where I've donated three times...sorry to say, at request of my server host I've had to switch to Coppermine  :'(...which is a mySQL backend php program. The host said with the volume of traffic I had going through the gallery,  album.pl was putting too much of a load on the server and I had to switch or be cancelled.... same thing happened with my message board, switching it from YaBB to YaBBSE to PhPBB. :(

I'm still using album.pl for a smaller subgallery.

Mike, I enjoyed your script and your timely support attention. Maybe someday there'll be a mySQL version of album...

Thanks Sunlizzard, you've been a great supporter. Sorry to hear you had to switch, but these things happen. There's no doubt that Coppermine is faster because it's PHP/SQL based, which is pretty popular these days. Anyway, thanks for all your support, and I hope your site continues to grow.


Cheers
Mike
