How Many Images Are Allowed Per Gallery?

I seem to remember it saying somewhere that there is a limit to the number of images per gallery and if you have more you need to start another gallery.
I asked this in the Q&A page and got NOTHING at all about galleries. It answered everything but my question.
Is there a limit or not and if so - what is it?

No limit as far as I know. You might impose your own limit if you think people won't flip through a certain number.

I don't have the definitive answer but I've never seen a limit of images for a gallery. If you don't mind my asking, why is this a concern? Why not wait to see if there's a problem before being concerned about it.

Just in case there's a misunderstanding (somewhere), there IS a restriction in other areas such as features on a group homepage.

I can't recall ever hearing one either. I think my largest is 6 pages long so that is what 150 images or so?

unlimited. but as said, too many would be hard to go through. there are stock companies here that have 1000's in each one.

Just my opinion, but 3 or 4 pages should be enough, any more than that and things start looking "same-y"..

Paul,
If I may suggest:
to further separate/itemize your images by subject in a few of your large folders.
For example:
Your folder - 'Black and White & Toned' (318 images)- I would make it just B&W - "nature" part one (100 images per folder)... then B&W - "man-made or structures" part one (100 images) or some other descriptive title so the viewer can
easily and quickly find what they're looking for before they become overwhelmed. Your sepia / brown toned images should be separated in their own folder.

(I'm only "picking" on your B&W folder because - when I peek at anyone's profile, I immediately take a quick look into their B&W folder/s as those images will tell me more about the
photographer than the color ones.)

If I see a folder labeled - "Nature" and it contains 1738 images! ....I get overwhelmed just by the shear number and move on. I think artists would benefit from separating their works into folders with titles that mimic this website's search keywords. Break up those large folders into more narrow / specific groups.

cheers
Ken.

 

No limit - thanks
Just wanted to know in case it some day made a difference.
I need to edit my galleries anyway and wanted to slim some of them down into volumes
where I have large numbers now. What I have now is just what I started out with and
never needed to change it before now. I don't want real large numbers in any of them,
so will limit each to 10 pages. I don't think most people will mind looking through that many.
If they do, oh well.

Got what I needed.....
