[DavidTO]

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

Wow.

And there's Ginger's shot!

yes, you are :D it's something that baldy and i are doing, we'll be rotating the shots on a regular basis, they'll be dgrinner shots, from the challenges, and from "shots" fora :deal

wtg baldy!

[Baldy]

I'm working on the rotation. Stay tuned.

[GREAPER]

Way to go Baldy and Andy....

I think that is very cool.

[dkapp]

Awesome work. It's nice to see shots from people I know on the top!

Mark my word!!! If I can't have KPOTD I shall be on the banner of DGrin.com :)

gotta start somewhere right?

[wxwax]

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

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. :thumb

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. :wink

[wxwax]

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.

[rainforest1155]

I knew someone was going to ask for this... :doh It's not so easy to do...Yeah, someone always the pain in the ass, this time it's me. :rofl
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. :D

Nontheless, thanks for the nice feature! :clap

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]

TimDo 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.

[DJ-S1]

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?

thanks alot andy:D

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"? :lol3

ad-blocking or popup blocking sounds like a likely culprit

Yes, I believe it is!

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

[DJ-S1]

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]

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

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

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.

[ehughes]

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

[DJ-S1]

works in "white" style, not "default" or "test"...:dunno

Did not work for me either.


I also just installed FireFox. Still no images at all. Just black space.

The saga continutes........

[Tim Kirkwood]

I agree it does work in white style!!

Any ideas?????

[Tim Kirkwood]

Does not rotate in white style but I do get the default three shots. In any other style I get black space.


:dunno:dunno:dunno

[{JT}]

If Norton Personal Firewall can integrate with both browsers, then yeah it could matter :) I would try disabling it then restarting IE to see what happens.

sorry those have been there for a while. a girl, icy sunset of mine, towers of light by shay...

so still not working for you :(

[wxwax]

I see three pics.

The first is an absolutely stunning girl, truly ravishing, perhaps the most beautiful I've ever seen.

The second appears to be plans for the SDI, only the math doesn't add up. :scratch

The third is a plate full of ribs.

I can try that when I get a chance. At work I'm beind a major firewall setup, and it works fine.

Just to be clear, I'm only posting this stuff to give you info if you want to debug it, it doesn't bother me in the least and I'm not complaining about it. AFAIC this is a pretty low priority thing. :D

OK, new version of the rotating banners is up this AM. Can everyone who is having problems please look again and let me know what you see? Photographer support is in, so sometime today I expect you to be able to mouse over the photo and see who took it.

In White mode (my personal default) I only see the old piccies. XP/Firebird.

[Andy]

and now, if you float your mouse over the piccies, you'll see who the photographer is.

our plan is to have a fresh batch of top-quality pics up there on a monthly basis, and they'll rotate for a month.

thanks a ton to jt and baldwanna for making all the geek-stuff behind the scenes work :bow :bow :bow

[Tim Kirkwood]

Still not seeing the rotation. I am still seeing black space. IE 6.0.2 Win xp.


I have to go teach my class right now but I will check back in later with more info!


Tim

[{JT}]

Dunno what to tell you :( It is working for near everyone else with that same version of IE. It has to be a firewall, anti-virus or some other third party app that integrates with IE.

Guess I had alot more anti virus running than I thought. I must have finally turned it all off.:D I have now noticed that I have 4 antiviruses and 3 firewalls.:thumb


Ok thanks all, nice to see the new banner!
