Please post bugs in this thread

While I agree with you that at this moment issues other than points are important, I thought it wise to point out this mistake. I am not a great scorer of marks and don't intend to be one. However, the data at both places should be same.

I had also pointed out that latest members thing is double on the profile page, which is another error. If the one next to our profiles is removed, there would be lots of space and the profile page could look a bit cleaner and better.

I agree 100% on the double display of new members.
I'm sure they will find the right "bucket" to get the points from. Thanks for bringing the double listing to light.

I will recheck the points. I presume that the points in the forum are the correct ones.

I tried the profile background cropping. When you click on the "edit background" link it brings up a selection box that i can just move to the right location and then save the selected area.

So far so good. Then I tried to change the width of the cropped area and I have the same problem that you are having. I will look at this issue and fix it.

Thanks, Ralf for your attention to this. The points issue also seems to affect the "Top Earners" in the right hand column. I know that chasrich has posted WAY more than 51 replies this week. Not that this is critical in the big picture but may have something to do with the other points issues. The points in the forum look to be correct.
I checked and points are being added to the profile count as replies are added. It must have happened at "conversion". Perhaps the points on profile were carried over from the development site.

I've been having the same problem with the background so it's good that's being looked at.

I was wondering about when someone clicks on a photo on a person's profile page, it gives the option to Like it, Share it, to Facebook and other social networking sites. Is there, or will there be, a way to not allow that type of access to our photos on our page? WIth the Terms and Conditions on at least some of those sites I don't want others to be able to post my photos there; I feel like they're my photos and it would be up to me which if any of my photos would be posted on networking websites. It looks like if someone was to post someone else's photo on a networking site, it would not show the original photographer's name.

This is the same type of "security issue" people have with posting on FB. This could discourage folks from posting photos unless they just don't care.

Looks like the "points" issue has been resolved.

Is it time to address the placement of the "people you may know.." box, and of the camera ads? (Coding for IE, if that's what's involved)? Please????

Great to see the points issue solved... As John says it is time to address the placement of the people you may know box and the camera ads. I would add the double listing of latest members. It could be done away with and our details on the profile page could be spread out a bit so that it looks less cluttered.

Hi John,

We have been very busy working on getting all the bugs straightened out on here. As you know PhotographyTalk is a social network for photographers, and would like to encourage or make available people with similar interest/gear. This area is one area that still has some fine tuning yet to come.

At the end of the day... we will constantly fine tuning this site to maximize it's growth potential. I appreciate your understanding and appreciation for the big picture.

Much respect buddy,

Alex

FYI... the upload process for the large profile photo has been fixed

Back at you, Alex.
I am not asking for the box to be removed- I understand your point, and I agree. Just place it where it doesn't crowd my info. The same for the camera ads: nothing wrong with them, I just don't think they belong in the middle of my Profile. Ads on Facebook appear on the side, they don't impinge on my content. That's all I am saying.
Ralf seemed to be hinting that the format I see may have to do with IE9, and that additnal new coding would help. I sure hope so!
Thanks for continuing to listen, and all your hard work!

@Alex

It is nice to see your team's hard work on resolving issues with the new look of this nice website. Regarding the latest members and people who own similar gear, I am the one who is telling that it can be done away with from the my profile page where our info is put up. I understand there must be reasons for placing these there. However, if you have noticed latest members listing is unnecessary as it is already listed at the corner of the website above "our facebook family". In addition, the boxes along with the ads of cameras in the profile info page makes the page altogether look cluttered. Nonetheless I am sure that you and your team are working hard to fine tune and make the profile page look its best.

I thought there was something different here. I love the new look!
