DavidTO · February 20, 2005

Am I the first to notice that there's new banner pics up top? And they rotate?

Wow.

And there's Ginger's shot!

The girl with the dog is an amusing shot! Glad to see that rotation is finally underway.

Ta mate....its a good thing.

That's a wonderful idea and thanks for the thread so I noticed the new feature and could adjust my ad-content filter in my browser.

One suggestion: show the username of the photographer as alternative text. This way it's easy to relate the picture to a name by just holding your mouse onto it.

I knew someone was going to ask for this...

It's not so easy to do...

wxwax · February 21, 2005

Ah, I just noticed that the new banner's only apparent in default mode, not white mode. :cry I guess that will change once it all gets set-up.

Yeah, someone always the pain in the ass, this time it's me.

But no need to rush, good thinks take a while or even longer. I'm sure that you'll come up with something if it's do-able, you always do.

Nontheless, thanks for the nice feature!

OK so let the questions begin...
I am not seeing the new banner. I have just a black space between the Digital Grin text and the powered by smugmug text. So what settings am I going to need to change to fix this? IE 6.0.2 Win xp

Thanks anyone...

Tim

Dee · February 21, 2005

Ah you have to be in default style
for the rotating banner photos to show!!!!! I was using white...

Do you happen to have JavaScript turned off? What's supposed to happen is they don't rotate unless JavaScript is working, but they shouldn't be black.

Hey Baldy, As far as I know I have it enabled. Can someone tell me where all to look to be sure?

All I see is a black space between the words.

Same for me, no images in the banner. I'm using the default style, IE6. There's lots of Java settings, which ones should I check?

hmmmm ....
I just restedted using the latest IE on WinXP and worked perfect for me. I highly doubt you guys have Javascript turned off, otherwise a lot of the Photo Tools would not work for you in smugmug (you can check by going to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Setting then scroll down to the bottom and make sure Active SCripting is Enabled). Maybe you have some type of ad filter installed, or some other plugin? Also, can you please check the bottom left hand side of the browser window for a yellow warning sign, if it is there double click it and tell me what the error is, thx.

it's way more fun to just say that "on my mac, with safari, i have no problems seeing chris' most excellent banner work"?

ad-blocking or popup blocking sounds like a likely culprit

If you have web assistant, top right hand corner on IE, turn off Block ads and Block popups and the pics appear

DJ-S1 · February 22, 2005

It works here at work, and it's really cool! I'll see what's going on at home, I do have a pop-up thingy running but I don't think that would do it.

As for using IE, I tried to get used to Firefox recently but I had issues with several websites, so I dumped it. So you see, I'm not a Microsoft zombie; I do try other things!

Tim Kirkwood · February 22, 2005

I have enabled everything I can think of. Still not seeing the new banner. Just black space. Is any my shots in there lol Hope to get this figured out soon!

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Tim

{JT} · February 22, 2005

Has to be an ad blocker or popup blocker, some 3rd party app for IE.

I used really generic javascript for the rotation that any browser can read, and it has a fallback to still show three if you don't have javascript enabled.

Well just came up to my server in my closet in the office. Dont normally even have a monitor hooked up to it. But I can see the rotation on this system. Not sure what the problem is on my laptop. I will look into it and let you know if I find the problem, in case anyone else comes up with this problem.

thanks for any tips anyone can share

Tim

DJ-S1 · February 22, 2005

Now that I'm home, it's not showing up in either IE or Firefox. I turned off all pop-up blockers but I am running Norton Personal Firewall, not that that should matter. No big deal, just weird.

Try adding digitalgrin.com as a trusted site in your internet security settings, solved it for me.
