charedan Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 This morning all the captions under photographs have changed size and feel sometimes quite cramped, and most of the time I can no longer see camera model in captions if the title of a picture is long enough. Everything was fine last night. The problem is visible using Safari on my iMac (full screen at 1680X1050) and InternetExplorer on my XP PC (full screen at 1280X1024). Thanks Dan!

mike_stemberg Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I agree that the captions now do not look at all aesthetically pleasing. Using 'h1' formatting for the first two lines, and then 'h2' for the third also imbalances the line spacing. Perhaps some changes in fonts etc...might help somewhat.<br><br>Personally I am hopeful that this is the beginning of the adminstrators making some very welcome system wide changes incorporating some of the numerous good suggestions that subscribers have been making, and that they looked at the captions for more reasons than just to add an advertising Amazon link to the 'Camera Model' data.

Norma Desmond Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Mike-- More than likely just another in a series of errors. The system went down yesterday for a bit and when it was "fixed," the bold titles were present. Doubt it was intentional. Also doubt that today's multiple time-outs and slowdowns are intentional but they sure are annoying. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!

joshroot Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 We did replace a drive enclosure yesterday. But I was pretty sure that was for a new server, and not an existing one. I will ask Jin to look into it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvisionphotography Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Josh, without asking this REALLY REALLY stupid question in the forum. Will I ever get MY camera back under my picture? I see others that have THEIR camera under their picture and funny if you CLICK on it their is a hyperlink that goes to AMAZON.com. You know "I" have nothing wrong with this as it is a great advertisement tool but BOY are those people in other countries going to have a problem with that as it will cause them to slow down if they accidently click on it. They wait so long just for pages to load. We forget that. It is the ADVERTISEMENTS that slow the pages down. Those flashes that do this. Let's consider them a bit here. I agree. Maybe consider making those people overseas with a certain NON capability of internet NOT to have to have all this advertisement. These things are really causing them frustration. I know I get impatient when I have to wait seconds for a page to load or upload. ok... went on the rant (sorry). Someone else kind of mentioned it so I had to say something. So, my camera, will it be back on my page? Just curious as I don't have MY camera anymore (haven't changed anything, still clicking on my camera). AND I notice several other people haven't got theirs anymore yet some do. Yes curious. That's all. Thank's bunches! ~ oh and when can I use two exclimation points. I sure would like to in this forum ;) he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Micki, Call me stupid, but I have NO idea what you are talking about. What "camera" are you referring to? Everyone can laugh, but I am totally lost. Perhaps you had better email me at contact@photo.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charedan Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Josh, Because the photograph's captions have changed (font is now much bigger), for most photographs we view, the camera model is no longer visible in the captions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Ahhhhh. Now I see. Thanks Daniel. Jin is working on the issue and it should be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvisionphotography Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 lol, it won't be the first time I have totally talked circles where even "I" don't understand what I wrote. Ok, under the pictures it tells you the title and your name and then the camera you used. Well, my camera is gone (sad panda face). Some people still have their camera and they have a hyperlink that goes to Amazon.com. I don't even have that. Now if you go to detals it is still there but it just isn't under the picture anymore. Does that makes since. I know that Daniel put it in Cliff Notes version. BUT, I wanted to see if I could actually do it too. Anything about the two exclamations being allowed in the forum yet? You know like at the end of a sentence. Ok just kidding. You guys do a great job. AND, I'm learning NOT to abuse my interjections. HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm glad to see the camera model is back under the photograph (thank you!), but WOW those fonts sure are messed-up tonight. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan flanders Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 A technically good image without a cogent caption is usually meaningless. Some images without captions are self-explanatory and can get by without them but are better with. generally it IS interesting to know the camera and lens used, but the exposure data is LESS Important. A pic in the 35mm section made with a 4x5 conveys minimal useful information for the viewer. If the image is uninteresting all else is meaningless. . . "Just the facts, Maam -- just the facts!"
