    It was just a quick 'hide/display/hide'. I am sure there are better ways. I will check.

    but if it is possible to make a pop up explanation (only) if you hover over it,

    It should be doing that. It does on preview - but I notice it doesn't on the dev3 site - so I've missed something somewhere. [Edit - fixed]

    Yes, it works now :-)
    although as , Arvo mentioned it is not the same as the other buttons
    edit : just noticed it was fixed by you a minute ago :-)
    it's getting better every day :-)

    Also (on my screen) the images on "dev 3" that revolve around seem to interfere with each other, as if the old image is not removed before the new image is shown?

    That does NOT happen for me. What browser are you using.

    I'm using Microsoft Edge. Tested again, just now, with Firefox and Microsoft Edge and both now worked just fine :-)
    The images revolve around as they should.
    I guess you fixed it !

    dalso, if I click on dark mode I get "negative" images ?

    Yes, I know. I'm trying to sort that out.

    Since Amazon pulled out and I came here, I have not logged into DPR, but I do look at it from time to time. Today I explored this thread. There is a plug for us by NCV (!), and a link to focus-on-photography.net/ that seems to have similar aims to this site.

    I was not enamoured of the large number of glamour photos, and was surprised not to see Sandy among them; but one feature of that site that looks very useful is its greater use of thumbnails which would enhance our site.

    There is also a link to a useful resource for seeing the position of the sun -- even when obscured by clouds!

    Thanks David. I had a look at the DPR discussion. NCV didn't have a link to our site so I added another post with a bit more about us and a link.

    I had a look at focus-on-photography. Some nice images there but the depth of discussion is very thin.

    I've unhidden the third level forums on the home weekly page. What do you think? Should I leave them unhidden? If so, what about the others?

    I've opened it out for all of them. Easy to close - but comments appreciated.

    No point with Critique/CC subcategory - it just dupilcates main category itself. About Challenges - better write some description there; challenges are not the main point of our forum and I don't think visible subcategories there add anything. Also they both break visual logic :)

    Yes, I sort of agree with you. But for new people, if they don't know they are there, then they will not find them unless they go via the Threads link.

    How to explain that in my non-existent English... Both CC and Challenges subcategories just look wrong.
    There's some logic behind homepage design; single row of subcategory buttons after last item in categories list does not exactly break that, but random button rows (with only 1-2 buttons) between categories do not belong there.

    Ah yes, I see.

    Oh well, not to worry. It was just an idea.
