Recommend a gallery for long post

[Kodock]

Some post are legthy. It would awesome if there was a gallery option for a post/thread.
For example, Broadfield's build and other DIY, there are a lot of pictures, but you have to scroll through an extended amount of pages to find one picture.

I would say this pertains to more DIY, giant threads, build threads, etc. Maybe there could be a microthumbnail, at the top or bottom of the page, a hyperlink to the gallery, all images on that page at the top, etc.

Note: The gallery option would be to see all images on that thread. That means every photo and not just a gallery for each commenter, a master gallery.

Would be a very helpful option for mega threads. If the photos in the gallery also could act as a link to the actual post - it would be great. Just look at the photos - click and read the actual post.

I think this is a very good idea ...

If you don't read the thread to see the pictures, you have no idea what the pictures are for. And then you'll get even more people asking the same stupid questions over and over again, because they just looked at the pictures and didn't read the accompanying thread.

I think you may be asking for something beyond the systems software capabilities.

While this is exactly what I thought, the truth is, if someone is surfing to look at photos only, they aren't going to read the accompanying or surrounding posts anyway...

I have seen numerous threads started especially with people asking for help and listing all the information we need and then 3-4 posts down someone asking for the specs that the OP has already put in their first post.

I do a lot of skimming just to look at pictures on tank build threads and mainly just read posts that the OP has written with their pictures. if I have a question about something I will continue to read other people's posts to see if my question gets answered before posting... More times than not my question eventually gets answered without me actually asking.

Bud usually, I don't have any questions. LOL

If every picture was a link to the actual post - you could easily read the text about the picture too.

Great points. I am sure it is much harder than it appears, software wise. I think you will see people ask the same question repetitively throughout any thread, small or large, simple or complex, just because people live with an instant results/information mentality and IQ varies. I was thinking more along the line of Lasse’s idea, where pictures have a link to the immediate post. Typically specs are before, with, or quickly after a significant image.

It may not be necessary. I just thought it would be a helpful tool to navigate through large threads, if possible.
