I will do without the slider for now until I can figure it out with your assistance :)

Thanks!

Help?

Please go here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/

Featuring posts in a slider on your home page is easy. You just need sticky posts with Featured Images. Every sticky post you have (up to 10) that has a Featured Image (at least 887 pixels wide) attached will show up there. Easy!

Note that Optimal size for featured images is: width 888px, height maximum 355px.

True. I think you need a minimum of 900 width.

Why your site keeps crashing is a mystery to me...

Any idea what I can troubleshoot to see if it works? The site works PERFECTLY up until I upload featured photos and sticky them, and the second the slider comes up it crashes :( I've tried with multiple sizes... anything over 900 width causes the site to crash, anything under doesn't make the slider come up at all.

Is there a size beyond which the slider doesn't work properly?? Most of my pictures are around 1200 pxls in width, and it has screwed up my entire site. I remove the photos and things go back to normal.

Wondering how to fix this, thanks!
