 * Upon clicking a thumbnail, my images are loading very slowly.
 * I’ve tried modifying the image quality and size, but it seems to have no effect.
 * Also, the image size parameters seem not to work. The images automatically resize
   depending on my browser size. See an example below.

 * Any help is most appreciated.

 * Ahem, you uploaded 6 Mega Pixel images , thats a 2.5 MB file… That should be 
   slow if you are not sitting beside the server. Please use smaller images.
 * If you would like to lower them with NextGEN you must go to “manage gallery” 
   and select the images to resize as bulk edit

 * That makes sense. I assumed that they were resized automatically on upload.

 * Is there any way to set up NG Gallery to automatically resize the images on upload?

 * If I go to resize more than 10 or so pics at a time it times out on me.
 * Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/.pepie/cpalmisano/
   thepalmisanos.com/site/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/thumbnail.inc.php
   on line 215
 * Any way to remedy this?

 * Yep, this could happend, because your large images requires a lot of memory and
   a lot of time to process… You can increase this execution time or better resize
   them on your PC and upload them again.

 * 10-4
 * Truthfully, I’m a bit surprised this app doesn’t support resizing on upload. 
   Every img gallery app I’ve used previously supports this.
    Who wants to resize
   all their imgs before upload?

 * Good question, maybe the author has someting in his mind or is silly (maybe a
   low script execution time of 30 seconds could causes problems…)
