As you have 2 choices, try each and go with what you like.
I am trying to create an intranet page for the thousands of images I've taken while traveling our country. Each province is separate, and each area within that province is separate. Even so, there are still many images to display.
I'm planning to use lightbox.js so the user doesn't need to change pages all the time.
Would it be "better" to:
1. Use one scrolling page of thumbnails that has, say, 300 thumbs; or
2. Have several pages, each with approx 60-80 thumbs?
Size of thumbs would determine page size, I guess, but not having any definitive answer so far I wonder what your thoughts are?
