The Set Page For Images

The Set Page (for images) has a row of pulldown menus along the top, then a number of navigation controls: where appropriate these are first page, previous page, next page and last page. When it wouldn't make sense, such as in the example shown where we're on the first page, the first and previous icons do not appear. Continuing on to the right of the navigation buttons you will find the name of the set (a short description) and at the far right a direct link to each page of thumbnails of the set. For ease of use, this navigation bar is repeated at the bottom of the page. The final link (the small print) is to a part of the WACS system that fetches the 18 USC 2257 declaration information required by US law for adult web sites based in the US. Generally the US guidelines are adherred to by most responsible web site owners elsewhere in the world as well, and so this feature is included as standard in WACS.

Navigation From The Set Page For Images

Here is an example of the Actions menu on the WACS image set page. As you'll see, it offers you the chance to download a zip file of the set, to view it as a slide show, or to see a whole set index (which is described next). The next menu, People, connects you to the model page (or pages if multiple models feature in the set), and to the Photographer's set index (if the photographer is known). The third menu, Navigation, is a standard menu that'll you'll see on just about every other page in the WACS system and is designed to make it easier to navigate your way around.

Tip

Depending on how much is on the set page and how fast your link to the WACS server is, it may take a moment or two before the pull down menus become available. However even before the pull down menus become active, the default action on the menu can be taken by clicking on the menu title itself. For the Actions menu, this is to download the zip file of the set; for the People menu, this is go to the model page of the model (or first model if there are several); and for the Navigation menu, this is to go back to the Main Menu (aka Front Page).

You can also view a big version of any of the images by just clicking on the appropriate thumbnail. You should then see a page something like this....

Framed Full Image

This little page has some tricks up it's sleeve! Down at the bottom you have the navigation controls which let you step forwards, backwards, jump to the beginning or end, go back to the thumbnail page or go visit the model's page. However if you left click on the image itself, it'll take you to the next image which (if you've enabled javascript on your web browser) will have already been downloaded from the server for you!

	Tip
	You can easily save the image by right clicking on it, but be wary - this will be the size at which you are seeing it which may not be the best quality image available - downloading the zip file will give you the best quality versions of the images that WACS has.

	Warning
	Depending on your preferences settings and/or how the site manager has configured things, you might just see the image by itself without this frame (you can change this easily, details are given later in the advanced topics section).

The Set Index For Images

This is a slightly different version of the same screen which isn't as pretty but does include all the images (instead of the first 12 or so) and some additional information about it, including where it is actually located in the file systems and the actual name of each image file. This is more of a site owner's page really but it has it's uses - it is linked to from the set number link on the detailed model page, new sets page or index link at the bottom right hand corner of the model thumbs page.

	Warning
	The set index page can take a pretty long time to load as it has to download thumbnails for each and every image in the set. Generally, unless you need really to see all the thumbnails, the set page is quicker to display and easier to use.

	Tip
	If there is a link present on the filename written below each image on this page (ie if your cursor changes when the mouse pointer hovers over it), that link will take you directly to the full size, highest quality version of the image, while the link on the thumbnail will normally be to the framing page with it's navigation and potentially smaller version of the image.

The Set Page For Videos

While what WACS can display for videos is currently more limited, here is a simple example of what the set page for a video looks like. As you can see, it tries to include additional technical information such as the type of movie it is, duration, size and type of set featured. If it has been rated (as shown here), that will also be included. WACS will also include any additional icons or descriptions it has when showing the set page for a video clip. Shown included here is a simple description of the set.
