Hi Stacey,
Okay I went away for three days to cool off and wait until a lot of the bugs have been fixed. Today I came back to find that someone had posted a script to turn the gallery pages black with white text. This is a wonderful solution to one of my major headaches. I am also very happy to see that I can click away the large version of the gallery picture.
What I am confused about is why I can't even find my own list of favorite artists and the comments I made about them. When I go to that area that was my community homepage here I find the color of the pages wrong (from my script changes for both the forums and the gallery) and when I click on what appears to be a link to my favorite artists nothing happens. I noticed that the server seems to be called Camelot. Am I to understand that my community homepage is now on a different server? The only reason I wrote comments about my favorite artists was to let other people visiting my homepage know what kind of art each person did and therefore they would click to go visit one of my favorites.
A few days ago I did find a page with my favorites listed-I'm not sure how I got there now-and that was when I was quite upset with the tiny size of the font because I couldn't hardly differentiate the name of the favorite artist and my comment that I wrote about them.
The picture on my homepage is also gone. Am I to understand that this another part of renderosity is in the middle of being changed?
The speed of the galleries and the forums is back up to normal-at least for only having between 700 and 800 visitors according to the number at the top of the page, right now at 1:30 a.m. California Pacific Coast Time zone. It's a nice speed but we'll see how that goes a when there are more visitors during the more normal hours. I would think that people in Europe would be online now. If the numbers stay down I can only think that it's because many of the members aren't visiting anymore, but that's hard to say.
My major concerns at this point are to find out what happened to my homepage, and to find a way to increase the text size that I still cannot hardly read in the galleries.
I do miss the simple ability to see the number of comments for an image in my gallery under the thumbnail. I have not trying to upload since this is all changed so I can't stay to the ability to easily select all marketplace merchant to give a credit link-but if it's not like before where there was a drop down and I can hit a key on my keyboard to at least get in the right area alphabetically I'm afraid I will not be very motivated to put in the links. I have physical disabilities that make it very difficult for me to negotiate with a lot of arm and hand movements, and I can no longer type a great deal. I rely on the trackball mouse, and speech to text software. I bring this up because I have found out that there are a lot of people with vision and physical disabilities trying to use this community also.
I am sorry that I got so extremely upset. I just think it isn't fair to force the user's to fix the problems (i.e. find and create scripts instead having some way to choose them within the forum's own coding) of a major web site. I really am trying to stay apart of this community, it's just so difficult instead of being an easy pleasurable experience.
