Fix needed for bug in Sand theme

In 'All Thumbs' or 'Traditional' style, when you click on a photo to enlarge, the green colour is lost on some of the text - using Safari on a Mac, at least.

As we, on these forums, understand so well, a picture is worth a thousand words - at least!

Thanks for your interest in this, Andy.

This is actually a bug in your gallery title; here is what you have entered:

Women's Interprovincial Golf Teams<br><FONT SIZE=1> Final Day Teams and Supporters<br> Ngaruawahia Golf Club, 8 October 2005<br><br> © 2005 Ross Collins</size></FONT>

I think you are creating an optical illusion here, where part of the title is looking like something that belongs in the gallery description. The gallery title turns gray on single image view because the gallery title becomes a link back to the traditional view - and since you have alrady been there, gray is the visited link color.

It's a problem, for sure!

I only want a by-line, not write a book about the gallery, and I haven't previously used the gallery description for this because it has created hideously large text. Irrespective, I'm certain this is definitely a bug in Sand because if I remove all the HTML from my gallery title, the problem I reported remains.

You are right - removing the HTML will not help. The reason that the green color is lost is because when you go to single image view the title is now a link and the visited link color is green. So it is not really a bug, if it bothers you I can give you code to fix it.

So it's not really a bug in the Sand theme, it's an inherent issue attributable to the design of Smugmug?

Yes, I would be pleased to have the 'fix', thank you. Can you also tell me how I apply it?

Thanks for your attention and prompt response.

It has been fixed for you
