I am noticing several things that have gone wrong - just started tonight. I can only assume it is somehow associated with the June 21st change/rollback. My gallery pages (with Smugmug elegant format/Carbonite theme) display mostly fine under Firefox 3.0, but are terribly broken under IE 6.0
View this page with both Firefox 3.0 and IE 6.0 and you will start to see the problems.
Problem #1: Thumbnail jiggle when hovering over the thumbnails. The jiggle seems to exist under both Firefox and IE. Haven't we seen this one before - and it got fixed a long time ago? I have been doing a lot of customization work on my SmugMug site over the last week, so I am fairly certain I would have noticed the thumbnail jiggle before if it was a pre-existing condition (or maybe I am just going insane - entirely possible). The return of the thumbnail jiggle is an annoyance but not a serious problem.
Problem #2: Image #1 in the gallery does not display under IE 6.0 when you first bring up the page for viewing (there is just a big blank spot on the #mainImage section of the page - no photo is displayed). You need to navigate back and forth between images in order to display the first photo in the gallery. This is only a problem for IE 6.0 - Firefox 3.0 seems to display fine.
Problem #3: If I move my mouse off the page, the gallery image (#mainImage) seems to completely disappear from view. This is only a problem for IE 6.0 - Firefox 3.0 seems to display fine.
Problem #4: The gallery image (#mainImage) seems to be misplaced on the page and covers up part of the caption box. This is only a problem for IE 6.0 - Firefox 3.0 seems to display fine.
I agree with the rest of the civilized world that Firefox is a vastly superior browser, but given the wide-spread use of IE, these represent some serious bugs that have been introduced.<!-- / message -->

Problem #4: The gallery image (#mainImage) seems to be misplaced on the page and covers up part of the caption box. This is only a problem for IE 6.0 - Firefox 3.0 seems to display fine..
I noticed this also and added a small top margin to the captions yesterday. I
saw this in both FF2 and IE6.
Greg, I moved your post and notified you by pm - these aren't bugs - customizing issues We'll sort you out in the customizing forum, thanks!
User error is certainly a distinct possibility with anything I touch. Problem #1 (thumbnail jiggle) does seem to go away when my customizations are removed. I'll followup over on the customization forum for that one.
However, problems #2-4 persist even when all my customizations are removed.
There are no customizations in place for this example. Everything views fine with Firefox 3.0, but problems #2-4 persist in IE 6.0 (at least on my computer).
It seems like Allen has independently confirmed problem #4 at a minimum. These could all be related manifestations of the same bug. Perhaps if problem #4 gets fixed, the others will go away as well. I guess you are rolling something out later today ... I'll check back again later.
It's certainly nice to have such responsiveness. Just knowing that your comments/concerns aren't going off into a black hole makes a big difference.

Greg, those are Carbonite Theme issues in IE6. We can probably fix them but IE6 is so bad I don't know For now, use a different theme, will see what I can do about Carbonite

I certainly hope the Carbonite issues can be fixed. I have all my site customizations designed around the Carbonite theme, so I'd hate to redo all of that.
In the mean time, I'll try out the caption margin fix suggested by Allen in post #275.
After the recent changes that you made to smugmug, it will now automatically create keywords from the names of the files I upload. This doesn't really go well with my file naming scheme and the infered keywords don't make much sense, so they look ugly when displayed below my photos. There should be an option to disable this behavior (or maybe there is and I'm just blind?). If I really want keywords, I will set them in IPTC before uploading.

It has always since Day 1 (years and years ago) been that we make keywords out of filenames. It's only been a bug for a few months, and we finally fixed it. Sorry!
Little Progress.......
While I find it encouraging that someone did finally get on this issue and do something about it. I am wondering if it is actually fixed correctly. I mean, if you click on a keyword, say on your homepage, you will see all the photos with that keyword on the whole site through multiple galleries if set that way. So you SHOULD be able to Edit Bulk Captions/Keywords of just those photos you pulled up with the keyword. The way it is set up now is that you can click on the edit part but it takes you to the gallery that the photo is from, NOT just the photos by the specific keyword you were just looking at. You end up with bulk editing photos you don't want.
What's the use of this? I mean, I can do that through the original gallery. It just makes no sense.
I find it completely UNACCEPTABLE that this issue has yet to be addressed. This could save a ton of my time. This should of been fixed by now.

Hide photo now working?
I have a few pictures hidden and when trying to hide one more it isn't saving my selection. Also If I try to unhide one I previously hid it does not unhide it. Is this an issue anyone else can reproduce?

Here is a link to one I was trying to unhide. I click on the checkmark and then wait a few seconds and click on another picture and then back on this one and the checkmark is back. Same is true with any other picture if I try to hide it. It acts like it works, but then I go back to that picture and it is back to how it was originally.
I am using ff3 and have checked on both win xp and os x with the same results. Is it possibly something that has just come up with ff3?

Validated, FF3 bug, we'll see what we can do. It works fine in other browsers though.
Smugcards
Ya know, I really like Smugmug. I really do! 98% of the site is absolutely perfect. I believe Smugmug is the only site that actually has it right. I've been extremely happy with my experience so far.
However, it bugs me that some things still don't work since I signed up in April. The whole smugcards thing. Still doesn't work for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? But it just freezes at "Click 'Categories' Below and Choose and Occasion"
And don't get me started with the whole bulk keywording thing.... scroll up...
Anyway, I've never been able to see this and I would really like to. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.14 With WinXP and sometimes Vista. Neither works.
So I just wanted to once more say how much I've enjoyed my Smugmug experience and look forward to a bright future with them. :encore

I have been using Carbonite theme with IE6 for quite some time, but these problems just popped up with the June 21st release/rollback.
The best/easiest workaround I have found is to turn off "stretchy" functionality for my galleries. Perhaps SmugMug should temporarily disable stretchy for Carbonite until the theme can be fixed.
Life was good even before stretchy, so I guess I can live without it for a while. If possible, please post something here when a Carbonite fix becomes available. Thanks.

I'm also having a problem with the File Names / KEY WORD feature along with doing BULK Keywords. When SmugMug tried to add the key words from the file name it will not work, for some reason it is adding a ";" after the first word of the file name and then nothing comes up in the key word field until I go in a manually delete the ";" (ie.) it looks like this:
fishing; boat
Also when I go into BULK Edit Captions / Key Words, I'll choose the photos or ALL that I want to key word then "ADD Key Words To" Chosen or All, type my key words in, hit preview and then save. Well the Key Words are visible in the BULK page box's for each photo but it's attaching a ";" at the end of the string of words and then they don't show up under the photo until I physically go in and delete the ; symbol from EACH photo end of the key words.
It Looks like this:
smith wedding April church reception;
The ; symbol is keeping the key words from being registered and when you have 300-400 photos from a party or event this is not something I wanna be doing all day. So for now I have several client galleries without any key words attached because of this. Can some tell me if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong, (ie.) should I be ADDING something to the KEY WORD STRING when I enter it in the BULK LINE to get this to work?
Oh I use IE7 if that's important

I am also having problems with this feature and its getting frustrating. I have to go into bulk and remove the " and ; and the file names out of keywords. My file names are numbered with my inicials by the number...so what I see in every new photo I want to add keywords to is something like... jmm ; xxxx . I remove this by manually deleting each number in bulk settings then preview then add my own keywords to all and preview again then remove all " then preview again then save. When I go to the album I might see a couple of the keywords or all of them...but I still see the jmm too. Very frustrating! It wasn't like this a couple months ago....and I am spending way to much time correcting this manually.

I work with IE 6
That is the SAME EXACT Problem I am having JAG to a "T" ! and like you said this is only recently that this problem has arrised, never happened before and now all of a sudden I can't list bulk key words or captions because of this, I gave up for now. I just do not have the time to edit each individual photo this way especially on galleries containing hundreds if not thousands of images at a time

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the problems. How long did you say this has been happening? Can you point me to one of your galleries where the keywords have not been manually changed by you so that I can take a look? If you don't want to give a link, you can just tell me the name of the gallery and I can find it.

Here ya go Thando, this gallery is one of the latest this problem occurred and is the same as it was the day I uploaded the photos and the key words are still in tact like they were with the ";" in them preventing them from showing
Slideshow captions truncated?
I've found that some captions are cut off on my slideshows. It doesn't appear to be related to length, and I don't see that it's related to special characters in any way. For an example see this picture: http://monkeytales.smugmug.com/gallery/5147803_JBgHs#313635151_3ML28
Note the caption and then go to it in slideshow. I've got others with much longer captions that display properly and I can find other examples of the bug if necessary. Any thoughts?
New Problems with Carbonite?
Today I observed two problems that were not present a couple of days ago:
1. In any gallery when choosing to view a larger version of an image the new image used to open in the same window by replacing the gallery being viewed. Now it tries to open the new image in the same window but positioned below the gallery. I say "tries" because a large blank extension is added to the page. Scrolling way down into the blank space sometimes reveals the image at which point it jumps back up to the top, but mostly I have to stretch the window horizontally to reveal it. Either way, this is unacceptable. Same effect in both Safari and FF.
UPDATE: Problem #1 appears to have been fixed overnight - thank you! Problem #2 remains:
2. Bump the posting above - some captions in slideshow are now truncated. There's no pattern to it, appears totally random.
Rotate problem
Every so often I need to rotate an image that is put into an album. Lately (I would say for about a couple of weeks) I notice that I will rotate them...wait for over 20 minutes...and they are still not rotated. Once I waited an hour. So I have to go back in and rotate them a second time before they will start to turn up in the right direction. I once had to do the same picture 3 times before it actually rotated. This was not like this when I joined up.
As of now...I am still waiting on a new album to rotate the pics I selected for rotation. I have gone through the rotate tool 2 times and its been over an hour since the first time. They have not changed yet (as of the time of this post). http://jagcreations.smugmug.com/gallery/5281519_6fy3c#321748957_Hd7Ws
2.
Another problem I have noticed lately is that when I add a picture to an exsisting album...then click view the album....almost all the pictures have disappeared as thumbs and as a larger view (in smugmug view). It will show in the count that all the pics and pages are there...but the pics are not viewing (even the existing ones). I have found that if I leave the gallery all together and click on a seperate gallery....then go back to the one I added the pic....all the thumbs return except for the new ones...they are still processing but will turn up eventually.

no 'save' or 'cancel' buttons when editing captions
When I edit captions, there isn't a 'save' or 'cancel' button to do so. It's been this way for at least 3 days that I know of.

I've found that some captions are cut off on my slideshows. It doesn't appear to be related to length, and I don't see that it's related to special characters in any way. For an example see this picture:

Note the caption and then go to it in slideshow. I've got others with much longer captions that display properly and I can find other examples of the bug if necessary. Any thoughts?
Today I observed two problems that were not present a couple of days ago:
1. In any gallery when choosing to view a larger version of an image the new image used to open in the same window by replacing the gallery being viewed. Now it tries to open the new image in the same window but positioned below the gallery. I say "tries" because a large blank extension is added to the page. Scrolling way down into the blank space sometimes reveals the image at which point it jumps back up to the top, but mostly I have to stretch the window horizontally to reveal it. Either way, this is unacceptable. Same effect in both Safari and FF.
UPDATE: Problem #1 appears to have been fixed overnight - thank you! Problem #2 remains:
2. Bump the posting above - some captions in slideshow are now truncated. There's no pattern to it, appears totally random.

Every so often I need to rotate an image that is put into an album. Lately (I would say for about a couple of weeks) I notice that I will rotate them...wait for over 20 minutes...and they are still not rotated. Once I waited an hour. So I have to go back in and rotate them a second time before they will start to turn up in the right direction. I once had to do the same picture 3 times before it actually rotated. This was not like this when I joined up.
As of now...I am still waiting on a new album to rotate the pics I selected for rotation. I have gone through the rotate tool 2 times and its been over an hour since the first time. They have not changed yet (as of the time of this post).

Another problem I have noticed lately is that when I add a picture to an exsisting album...then click view the album....almost all the pictures have disappeared as thumbs and as a larger view (in smugmug view). It will show in the count that all the pics and pages are there...but the pics are not viewing (even the existing ones). I have found that if I leave the gallery all together and click on a seperate gallery....then go back to the one I added the pic....all the thumbs return except for the new ones...they are still processing but will turn up eventually.

When I edit captions, there isn't a 'save' or 'cancel' button to do so. It's been this way for at least 3 days that I know of.
Thanks!
