Sharon, which screen are you using?

I'd tred the screen name on the forum post, and tried to send from my private messages. I can try searching the Community, but this is getting frustrating to have only one way it might work, and anytime I want to use it to try to remember which one works now, since the private message page doesn't anymore.

Thanks John for the assist. edit - That worked.

Why??

Did this not work? Long time poster....

It appears there is a space in the title. I'm guessing that is the issue.

What happened since this afternoon??? LOL All was fine on the site..... now all of a sudden there's a bar along the bottom and even when I click the x it pops up when I go to the next page. It's too big for my laptop screen, cuts off what I'm trying to read and half of what's on the bar is cut off so I can't read it anyway. It's beyond annoying, please please make it go away...

Earlier when I posted the whole page fritzed out and I mostly got red X's where parts of the page didn't load, then I couldn't get on anything other than the main page. It just seems like it isn't loading properly, I use Internet Explorer.

I've seen other users' pages that show up as a partial photo covered with an ad like John L. mentioned, and it shows the photo was taken 42 years ago. (I'm not making this up!)

Must be new design. Had to click the X to make the bar go away. Very intrusive with no real value. True, it is very laptop unfriendly.

Yeah and my laptop is fairly new but one of the smaller more lightweight, compact ones so the screen's even smaller. Which makes those type features even more in the way.

Plenty of value with it John... recent articles, reviews, top trending photos Many of these articles and reviews people won't see from other areas of the site. This shows top 3 of each.

We are testing new tools for the site. I have turned it off as I found minor bug in it. We've been testing on screens as small as 15" to 27" and iPad and cell phones. Icepics... what size screen do you have there? Also... when you click on the "X" that should make the window disappear for as long as you have your browser open.

Anyway... appreciate your feedback, I'll most likely put a thread together here in a bit to get a poll of what people thought of it.

I choose a 12 inch screen for portability. As long as the X kills it, it is OK. I know its more ad space. Have not tried it on my tablet.

Actually the single Google ad was a last minute toss in this afternoon because the original recommended book module kept causing the site to crash when we flipped the switch. Murphy's law for you! So rather than having a void in space we placed the Google ad in there for a place holder.

I wondefr if anyone elseis having the following problems:

The back button doesn't work after posting on a thread.

Photos don't open fully, but only partially at the top.

Anyone?

Need to BUMP this. The probl;em is really annoying, since I can't see, let alone comment on anyone's photos. PLEASE???

I'm not experiencing exactly the same thing as you John L. but if I go back, it goes to Recent Topics instead of the main Forum page.

The new pop up bar didn't stop popping up when I clicked on the X, it would continue to pop up every time I clicked on another topic. It was annoying and frustrating as it was, instead of being helpful or interesting, glad it's being worked on.

I may have mentioned that I noticed LIke It, Share It was gone but the icons are still there, and Pinterest is an actve link even if you're not logged in; I don't think that enables board users to protect their photos if they don't want others to take their photos and post them on social media sites.

I discoverd two bugs today.

The first one happened during registration, I filled in the form, but accidentaly filled in my username as "B". After registration I received an email, welcoming me in photographytalk, but I could not Log in with my credentials. After a few tries, trying also the "forgotten password", which claimed, my mail adress is not registred, I registred again, but this time I entered "Safyia" as my username. I completed the registration, followed by an email and a succesful log in.

Second one happend when I was Browsing galleries. I filled in a Location in the gallery search and I've got an
RROR: 500
DB function failed with error number 1054
Unknown column 'pdata.location'
This followed by the sql select statement. If I let the Location field empty, ewerything worked.

Now instead of a pop-up we seem to have a pop down - it's a welcome and sign in with Facebook, which is across the tops of photos or people's comments in the Forum that I'm trying to look at and read. According to this thread it's been five months... hope we're about done with all the changes and glitches.
