What resolution is your video card set to use? The physical size of the monitor doesn't matter, although I imagine with a monitor that big, you are probably already set to a pretty high resolution.

Im using 1280x720. I know its usually 768 resolution for most monitors, so maybe its that. Im using my HDTV as my monitor, so thats why its in that res.
OK, lets do a little experiment. Someone with a monitor that displays at least 1080x768, please go to this gallery and see if its SM small or large. Thanks. http://kerrybailey.smugmug.com/gallery/490493

Question for you. Are you saying that you would rather it always be Smugmug rather than Smugmug Small and if so, why?
My thoughts on the subject is that prior to this upgrade, smugmug small would simply shrink the space used by the gallery and not my portions of the cobraning. That is to say that my header image would remain 800 px (or whatever it is) my medium gray box would still be big enough to fit the smugmug style and my footers wouldn't change. If this is your concern then they've built in a solution for you. You will be able to change your individual customization based upon the width of the smugmug small gallery page. I will be covering this very soon in the CSS, Cobranding, and You sticky.
If it's just because you'd rather it not pop up by default on your particular browser, I can't help you there.
BTW, it showed up as the Smugmug ... uh big ... style on my 1280 x 1024 96DPI monitor.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
Is there a way to have a contact form instead of providing my direct email address on my smugmug photo website?
I'm trying to avoid spam mail .. I believe a contact form lessens your email address being scanned by spammers.
Thanks for any help or suggestions :
hello there, and welcome to dgrin! it's a great question - and let me tell you, smugmug, since day one, has guarded vigorously its' members privacy... the email addy that you use to register, is *never* given out, sold, distributed to *anyone* ever. not ever. period.
your email does *not* show on your smugmug page, unless you want to put it there. you only see it becuase you are logged in
as for me, on my smugmug site i've put an "email me" button, and i use my yahoo email address - yahoo's got great spam protection and i've never had an issue with spam.
anyhow, i hope this helps. holler if we can help you more.
Mike, yeah I just want it to always be Smugmug "large" on everyones monitor and never be displayed in Smugmug small. I just like it better & its just a bigger image. Most the peple who come to my site just look at the photos without messing around with sizes etc, so I want them to be nice & big. Seems like they would have both Smugmug & Smugmug Small as choices on the customize gallery section, but they dont.
EDIT: OK, I just changed my monitor res a couple times to ___x768 and it always displayed it in SM Large. So, it definitely depends on what res your using as to whether or not its SM large or SM small. Im pretty sure it has to be at least 1024x768 to display SM large, which is fine with me since almost every monitor out there is at least that. But, I think they should factor it another way since my res is greater than that in total.
For instance, the first version of Apple iMovie HD wouldnt even open on my monitor. It would say something like "iMovieHD requires a monitor resolution of at least 1024x768" and it would close. Well, they fixed that after the first update because of people like me that were using true 16:9 monitors which have a 1280x720 res instead of 768. Smugmug should look into this.
Here is the deal. When you go to a gallery - we use the forced style if it is a pro. If not we always look at your cookies to see if you have a preference set, and if so use it. If you don't have a preference set - we look at your resolution and give you smugmug or smugmug small. But, if you have ever visited any gallery - you have a default set, whether you chose it or not.

THANKS, Andy ... the folks in this web forum are so willing to help out :
Yes, I see that u have an email link ... but when clicked the person can still view your email address ... I'm probably being overly protected because I've had to stop using certain email addresses because the SPAM was so CRAZY.
Anyway, I've listed below info that can be in the contact form ... the person fills it out and they don't get your email address unless u email them back and want them to have it
Box Color
In the previous design, we used a class called offshadowbg (could we have been any more vague?) to determine what color the boxes were on your homepage, the equivilant of offshadowbg in the new design is called box. So for those of you who only want to change the color of the boxes all you have to do is this:
Code:
.box { background-color: blue; }
I am working my clueless self through most of these changes, and it is fun, if challenging.
I just noticed something though concerning the box color. I have 6 sub-catebories on my front page. The entire box is colored (blue) now in firefox. But I just tried IE for the first time, and noticed something very strange -- the top 2/3 of the box is black (top 4 sub-categories), while only the bottom 1/3 is blue. Any ideas?
Two Bugs Hello there! I believe I have found two bugs, one of which is definitely a result of the new 'Phase 2' styles in the galleries, the other may have been around for a while:
1) In the new 'smugmug' and 'smugmug small' styles, clicking on the bottom right corner thumbnail causes everything on the right side (the big photo and all text/links below) to become a link to the next gallery page. I think that the 'next' link at the top isn't getting a proper tag on it, for some reason. It only seems to happen when clicking on the last thumbnail on a page, though. Annoying, since it makes some of the things that are already links (like 'delete this photo') into links to the next photo. :
2) I don't know how long this has been happening, but when I go to rearrange a large sharegroup (17 galleries), I have to arrange them one at a time, saving in between. If I move the position of more than one gallery, then hit 'save changes,' only some of my changes stick (i.e., only one or two of the galleries are actually re-ordered correctly).
(Aside: I know that the bug that recently-visited sharegroups are no longer showing up correctly on the home page and gallery pages has been mentioned elsewhere, but I wanted to put in a plug for implementing that fix asap -- thanks! )
All of that said, I love the new styles and new CSS work! I know it has to be a lot of work putting it all together, and it is much appreciated.

filenames
oy...adding filenames for some 15,000 images...NOT fun.....
the frustrating part is that you can get the filename ONLY in the slideshow....
so...cumbersome....
You could insert the filename into each of your captions.
I agree completely. An option to see BOTH the filename & caption would be FANTASTIC. I often would like to include captions but don't want the 'hassle' of having to insert the filenames for each and every image. Exspecailly when I want to include a description of the the image edits I've done for customers but they need to see the filename in order to reference it. It would simply just make life a little bit easier.

It would simply just make life a little bit easier.
The only issue I have is that there are people (like me for instance) who are not interested in seeing IMG_5277 or whatever in with their captions. Perhaps this is something that could be added to either the image information (the part in the styles that currently tells the full image size, the current image size, has a link for the exif, the keywords, etc etc etc) or to the alt or title attribute of the image itself.
My vote would be to add it to the image information block but either way would be fine.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
filenames
mike - your point is well taken..you and some others would perhaps not want this filename to appear...so perhaps there could be a control panel switch
that would ask a yes/no for showing filenames along with the captions....
or taking this a step further, a way to not only turn the filename off/on, but where its located (top, bottom, above the caption, etc)..or perhaps that is what you just described...if thats the case, then smack me for being so slow...!
i just called them and there is a command that i can use to imbed the filename right above the caption....its going to take some work to get all the current files done, but all new postings can now have this added in....
as i said, its a work-around....note that the filename is embedded automatically when i am applying the caption in photo mechanic....makes it a lot easier than manually adding the caption here on-site.
I have forwarded this on to the smugmug engineers. They wrote back and told me that they were already considering what to do. So never fear, this is on their minds.
BTW, this whole series of replies is off topic to this thread I'll be moving them to the bugs and feature requests soon.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
Looks great Adam... but, but... I really don't want another workaround for something that could be simply fixed by adding one display field for the filename & 3 itty bitty buttons.
O on/off display button - Actual Filename - uploads by default & can be changed to display title
O on/off display button - Caption - This area used for Title or image description however Titles could possibly upload by default.
O on/off display keywords - Actual keywords - upload by default, can change them, leave them the same whatever but you have the option to turn off the display of them without actually removing them In customize gallery maybe we could have the option to display or not when uploaded but they'd still be there.

And sorry for replying off topic. I've got a few more ?'s floating up here so I'm off to find where to post them.
Have a great day!
enhancement request: add gray minibox to keywords page
As part of the recent phase 3 CSS customizations, shouldn't the keywords page (example at http://sheaf.smugmug.com/keyword/ ) also have a gray customizable minibox around it similar to the homepage keywords gray minibox? (as seen at the bottom of http://sheaf.smugmug.com/ )
It would be great to see this enhancement. The keywords page looks odd without a gray minibox to go with it.
enhancement request: allow me to hide #username from the subcategory title
How about adding a class name to allow me to hide the #username from the subcategory title?
I would prefer to omit the #username so that it just says "Christmas sub-categories", but current class names won't allow me to customize things that way.
It seems the most recent phase 3 CSS customizations allow me to hide #username in various places, but perhaps the subcategory page was skipped over by mistake?
I'm not sure why IE is flipping out over this but I found a fix:
.homepage #galleriesBox .boxBottom { <delete this note and keep whatever styles you may have already set>
_height:100%;
_padding-top:50px;
}
Delete everything between and including the angle brackets (all the red text) and insert the css you have there if any. You may have to play around with the padding-top value to make it look right in IE. The underscores in front of the values are important, do not delete them.
Mike - you're a genius !!!!
Many thanks for this - it's daft but it's the little things like this that drive me nuts...

How do u get rid of the box around the word 'galleries' on the homepage
Also, is there a way to control the layout/display of your galleries on the homepage?..
for instance, instead of having two across ... u can have three across

smugmug says: if no caption a filename will show...in the control panel.
i am desperate to find a way to see BOTH the caption AND a filename on every image (preferably on top centered).
Is this at all possible?
