Default Home page photo gallery

I think the home page photo gallery should go back to all random pictures instead of all pictures of 1 member. When all are random, we get to see more members rides at a time. Also lets visitors know that we have variety of vehicles on here.

I agree, and so does everyone else. But, it's been discussed in this forum at least three other times and every time IB said it was too much of a resource hog. Complaints about the forum being slow take priority over this complaint. So, we're stuck with it this way.

I agree it would be nice, problem is the random generator for the photos has to randomly select a photo from over a hundred thousand images 5 times, and it was taking its sweet *** time in doing so, and it would cause the main page to be slow to load (and all the rest of the pages as a result as it would hog the database servers time).

We were able to make it a lot less intensive for the server (and your browsing experience) by randomly selecting one persons galley, and showing you those images (or multiple people if their gallery had less than 5 images).
Not perfect I agree, but we work with what we got
