Fortress

[Len Philpot]

The base of a bald cypress tree in Chicot Lake near Ville Platte, Louisiana.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

How big around would you say that was Len?

 

[Len Philpot]

Really difficult to estimate... it was about 100 feet away, but I'd guess the diameter at the water line was between six and 10 feet maybe?

 

[Len Philpot]

Just for reference, this shot was taken at the same place as this shot, but farther to the right. Also the water level this time was about six inches lower, I'd guess.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Did you forget to attach an image to the above?

 

[Len Philpot]

No, there's a link in the message back to another image posted on the forum: "...the same place as this shot"

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It has been noted before that links to other pages are hard to discern. It's best to write THIS SHOT in caps as well as bold. Hard to see otherwise.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Ah, I see said the blind man. You have to admit the link is invisible unless you're dragging your cursor over it.

In my browser (Firefox) it's blue all the time, maybe not the same in others?

In the MSFT Edge browser it just looks like this:

 

[Len Philpot]

Yeah, I don't use Edge for much of anything but I wonder why they chose to not statically highlight links. MS, I guess...

 

[Gary R. Smith]

I don't use Edge for much of anything

I never did, I always used Chrome but when DPReview went through its most recent bout of admania, I switched to reading that with Edge with uBlock Origin installed. Solved all of my issues. I still use Chrome for non-photography related browsing.

In Safari you can’t see anything different from normal text.

What what what? In my Firefox (current on Win 11) it's nearly invisible like others are reporting...

Actually the colour of links, as defined in the stylesheet, is almost black:

a {
  color: #505050;
  text-decoration: none;
}

but some links include a nested SPAN with an inline style that makes them blue:

<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">My Flickr Photostream</span>

Interesting. I'm not well up in that sort of thing. I wonder if @Pete Askew could tweak a setting somewhere so they're always blue?

If @Pete Askew knows where to modify the style sheet, this would be very easy to accomplish. All he would need to do would be to add the following line to the end of the style sheet.

a{color: #2969B0;}

Alternatively, you can install one of those browser extensions that allow you to edit individual Web site styles in the browser -- for example, Stylus or Stylish -- and set a style for realphotographersforum in that extension by applying the line of code I pasted above.

 

[Pete Askew]

How's this?

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Thank you @Pete Askew, I think everyone should now see blue links.

 

[Gianluca Drago]

How's this?

@Pete Askew Just a small addition: I might have left the links in the two navigation menus grayed out, I mean the classes .p-sectionLinks and .p-nav-list .p-navEl.is-selected, because they don't need to be marked as links as it's already clear they are. But it's only a matter of taste.
