ted_marcus1 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 And there seems to be another "improvement" as well. The latest database update of the so-called "SmartFilter" censorware now blocks the entire site due to "nudity." Is it merely coincidence that this happened right after the site update, or does the update include a hidden offensive image on every page visible only to "smart" software? Expiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bueh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I still don't see the serif font -- not after Shift-F5 and not after clearing the cache. I hope you're just still working on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I am not sure why you wouldn't see the serif-font. Unless you have your browser set to override it somehow. What browser are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm still not seeing any color change for visited links. I use FireFox & IE and the both are set to show visited links in red. They no longer work like that for this site. I've reset them to make sure and they still don't work. <p> Can this be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Actually, I do see a different shade for visited links. But it's hard to see...the links appear to go from blue to purple on my sceen. I think changing to red or green would be much easier to see.

bueh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I am using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.10 with no special overrides font-wise (websites are allowed to use their own fonts). Maybe I don't have your specified font and you have still a <i>font-family:sans-serif</i> somewhere in your stylesheet. <p> And the <i>line-height</i> and <i>align-left</i> are not correct after I used a <i><blockquote></i> paragraph in a posting (without a <i><p></i> before the next paragraph -- see my postings <b><a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00K2EI">here</a></b>).

darius.tulbure Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Just a simple thought: it is normal an ad to Amazon to be useless. Who needs something like that? Do I know Amazon? Yes. Do you? Probably yes. It is almost impossible not to visit their page since it comes among the firsts in the search engines for hundreds of keywords! There must be something different, something interesting and new to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Darius, the easy way to stop seeing the ads is to become a photo.net subscriber: <P> <a href="http://www.photo.net/photonet-subscriptions?src=foot">Become a subscriber.</a> <P> Subscribers support photo.net with their wallets, non-subscribers support photo.net with their eyeballs (looking at ads).

darius.tulbure Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 But I wasn't complaining about the ad. I was just saying that is useless for Amazon to advertise here. It is a marketing strategy thing. Has been said on this topic that the ad to Amazon didn't increase the sales of this online shop. It is normal since Amazon isn't new to us.

bueh Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 By the way, I get both problems (sans-serif and blockquote issues) with Firefox and MSIE 5.5. So it's not even browser-specific! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Darius, The only person who knows if it is "useless" for amazon to advertise here is Philip. As he is the one who is looking at the clickthrough data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 <i>Visited links (forum threads, etc) should now be showing up as a different color than unvisited links (blue and purple in my browser).</i> <p> Any chance of changing this to a color that isn't so similar to blue? I really have to look hard to see the visited links, and I have two desktop computers and a laptop, all with perfectly calibrated monitors. <p> Wouldn't red or green be easier to see quickly? Or perhaps you could allow browers to use the personal settings that each of us has set. <p> Other than that issue, I think everything else looks fine.

todd frederick Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Josh, The recent changes in the bold lettering and blue titles is excellent. Very easy for me to read. Thank you. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
