We recently updated the photo album photo pages but there was a problem that we had missed. When one of those new pages was linked to by anything other than another one of those new pages the browser's back button would not work properly. This has been fixed for all the major browsers except for FireFox which may have a small bug in it's JavaScript support. When you access one of the new photo pages with FireFox from anywhere outside of Fanac please right click on back button and select the page that you wish to return to from the drop down list. Oh, and Safari requires a double click in the same circumstances.
March 20, 2011
We have completed a major update of the Fanac photo albums. All 6,438 photo webpage html files have been replaced by files that are an average of 34% of their old size. This update will result in more consistent formatting of the webpages and their associated photo update forms because many of those pages and forms were generated early in the life of the website and have now been brought up to date in terms of how they are displayed for you. Please note that the pages make use of JavaScript to control their format. Without JavaScript enabled they will still display properly but some formatting features and the photo updates forms will not be available.

We have made a change to the way photos are displayed in the various photo albums on the Fanac site. In the past photos that had incomplete information, such as a missing photographer's name, unidentified people in the photo, a totally missing caption, and the like were displayed with a form that could be used to supply the missing information. Photos that apparently had all their information were displayed without a form. We have found that the use of a form in this manner is distracting and that frequently people have wanted to add to, or make changes to, photos that did not have a form. In the future all photos will be displayed without a form but, by clicking were indicated, a form will be made available that will allow anybody to submit additions or changes that they think are appropriate for any photo.
We wish the thank all of those in the past that have taken the time to help us improve this site and to express our appreciation to those who will continue to do so in the future. We hope that this change will make it easier for you to continue to assist us.
