I have finally published my new SmugMug site and I could not have done it without you!!!

If you like have a peek and please let me know if you find any flaws.

Thanks!!

One thing I noticed is your menu drop is very long, I'd reduce the vertical spacing between each item. Think
of what this looks like on small monitors.

I have this in my "entire site" CSS and use the 1px top and bottom padding.

     /* shorter menu drop buttons */
.yui3-menu-item>.yui3-menu-label {
   padding: 1px 46px 1px 22px;
}

Affects other menus also which I like. Example, that huge size menu in lightbox.

Alan,

Worked like a champ.:D

Although I didn't see any other changes and am not clear on what a lightbox is. :cry

Beautiful site.
"Lightbox mode" is when one opens the image as so:

I do not see it working on your site?
Should look like the CONDENSED if the CSS is working.

Allen · July 31, 2014

Size selection in lightbox.
This shows how the vertical spacing shrinks.

David_S85 · July 31, 2014

Sam, some minor details. Your watermarks are not very consistent. Some have none while others have multiple watermarks. Like this one.

Sam · August 1, 2014

WATERMARKS :bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash

I worked on this for hours yesterday!!

I don't know what the hell is going on!!!

I have gone through and re-watermarked almost every image on the site. I have even deleted and re-uploaded new versions.

I even have images with an old watermark I have deleted.

I need to run.............. appointment just got mover up.

Sam

David_S85 · August 2, 2014

I hear you. I just wanted to point the weirdisms that I saw on at least one image(s) in the equestrian gallery. Sometimes I've waited a day or more for a watermark to appear (or go away) and others just a minute or two. I've never had multiple watermarks happen though. You might want to contact a Hero for that issue.

ChancyRat · August 2, 2014

Multiple watermarks happen, I think, if you apply one and then forget to remove it before you apply another. At least I think that's the rule. Of course it might be because I didn't wait long enough to see that applying a new one would include removal of the existing one automatically. I have definitely seen 2 at once and thought I had to remove the first before applying the 2nd.

Sam · August 2, 2014

Watermark update: One odd behavior was that if I choose to display the original image size the watermark defaults to "PROOF" even though the thumbnails show the chosen watermark. By using 3X size this doesn't happen.

dunno

The 3X image size is fine so I'm not sacrificing anything.

Again thanks to all for letting me know what you found!!

Alan,

OK, I see the light box change, and yes I think it is for the better.

The site looks nice, great images. Personally I think your nav bar would look nicer centered under your name, and I wouldn't mind seeing that font just a little smaller. I'm on a laptop and it just seems big to me. Other than that it looks great. Good job!

Thanks Connie,

I'll try it centered. As to the size, I am on a 27" screen and I am afraid if I make the font smaller it will look to small on the larger screens, and I have to look at it from time to time.

Sam

Thank you
