A few graphical/design changes around photo.net...

Looks great, Josh! :-)

How do I opt out of the "send E-card" feature? Is this new?<br>

I'd rather not have my pictures mailed all over the place as E-cards.

Found fix by turning off Universal Access-Minimum Font Size.<div></div>

Mary, can you give Tim's solution a try? I had a feeling it was something like that. Good sleuthing Tim.

Jim & Mike,

 

Give me a second to look into the "ecard" thing. There is obviously a glitch in there somewhere.

 

And why would anything ever go smoothly for me? Still, I'm pleased at the positive response.

Universal Access seems to be the culprit in all this because I just turned it back on and reduced the font size from 14 to 12 and

all is well. The fonts in the menu and pages are all perfectly sized for legibility.

That is great Tim. One less thing on my "to do" list. A big "thanks" to you.

I have IE 7 on two machines and the thread titles don't change color when I click on them. Also, I have to admit that

the bold type is harder to read. The letters are thick without good definition. I'm sure I'll adapt though.

Jim & Mike (and anyone else who wants to turn off ecards):

 

Go to your gallery, click on one of the folders, then look for the "admin" link on the upper right corner (you need to be logged in to see it). Click on the "admin" and a box of options will pop up. One of these is "disable ecards".

 

My apologies for any confusion or problems.<div></div>

Your welcome, Josh. I'm glad I finally figured it out as well. What an ordeal!

 

But really if it weren't for my lack of reading the freakin' manual on exactly what Safari's Font Prefs actually do to web pages

this probably wouldn't have ever come up.

 

Oh...wait a minute, I forgot, there is no freakin' manual. Hey Apple, you listening?

 

Just FYI to other Safari users on Photo.net. I set my Standard Font to Verdana 17 which only affects the font STYLE not size

used in the menu dropdowns. The 17 font size affects the font spacing and size of the entire page but not the font STYLE in regards to serif

fonts. Universal Access font size affects the size in the menu's and the small san-serif text just below and within the banner graphics at the top

of the page.

 

You could try other font sizes but 17 for me was the max before the serif style text postings as read in this thread went way too

big. You might afterwards want to empty Safari's cache, then quit Safari and relaunch and reload a Photo.net page to test to

see if it sticks and/or affects other sites. Command (+/-) font size settings are dumped and returned to default after the cache

is emptied.

 

Clear as mud ain't it? I swear fonts and computers have never been on friendly terms and it looks like they never will.

Regarding eCards (and ratings).

 

It appears that the "rate" and "ecard" tabe are showing up on images even when they have ecards turned off or have not been sent to the critique forum (to enable ratings).

 

This is a glitch, we will get it fixed.

Josh, I'm also getting the visited links problem in IE7.

 

In FF3 I can override this by disabling 'allow pages to choose their own colours' in the browser Options, but

this wasn't necessary with the old site.

 

That's a definite improvement to the community page, but IMHO it could still use more of a separator between the

forum names section and the active threads section.

for some reason i no longer have any tab for details ?

I should perhaps be more clear. When I acknowledge that there is an issue, that doesn't mean that the issue has

been fixed. It just means that it WILL be fixed.

<p>

These are the current known issues/bugs:

<p>

<ul><li>visited links are not changing color.

<li>"Rate" tab appearing on images that has not been sent to critique forum.

<li>"Rate" tab is not working even for images that HAVE been submitted to critique forum.

<li>"ecard" tab appearing on images in folders that have ecards disabled.

<li><s>http://www.photo.net/community/ page is graphically messy.</s> Fixed. turns out that the most recent version

was not loaded at launch.

<li>Visited links not changing color correctly.

<li><s>The words "show details" missing from "+" on folder view pages.</s> Fixed.

<li><s>"show details" and "+" missing from folder view pages when owner is looking at their own folders.</s> Fixed.</ul>

<p>

We're working on all of them.

Might be OK .... if it worked .... I'm using IE7 with AOL on WinXP and NONE of the tabs work ! ..... any ideas ?

i have the same issue that jeffrey has. had the details tab and then it disappeared. josh, these "bug" threads probably aren't as

entertaining for you as they are for me. i love to watch you work. now carry on.

<i>I'm using IE7 with AOL on WinXP and NONE of the tabs work"</i>

<p>

Are you using IE7 on it's own? Or is it some sort of integrated AOL-IE7 thing?

Jeffery & Mary. What browser are you using?

 

Also, everyone should be aware that if the programmers are working on stuff, that could be causing weird results while they update and change.

i'm usually on firefox 3. thought that might be the problem but same thing with safari 3.1.1

I am using a gateway gt5412 on this line , with the new microsoft operating system ,,,,windows vista ...

Josh, I was using AOL/IE7 "integrated thing" .... didnt think of trying IE on its own until you mentioned it. I then found that tabs worked OK with IE on its own AND (suprise, suprise) , when I went back to AOL, it worked there too ! .......... Thanks !

oops wiindows explorer sorry ...

<i>"josh, these "bug" threads probably aren't as entertaining for you as they are for me."</i>

<p>

I'm going to have to agree with you on that, I bet it's much more entertaining for you. My opinion is more like Jack's below.<div></div>

"The portfolio view has been changed to include a quick way to toggle the details off and on so viewers can see ratings, number of comments and number of views for each image"

 

Where ? .. How ? ..... Having got the other tabs to work on AOL this appears to be my last remaining problem.

 

I dont see any such "toggle"

Okay--what's the secret to opening the "details" and other tabs?
