When using a custom footer, is it allowed to use javascript to hide the "Photo hosting by SmugMug" and "Portions © SmugMug, Inc." pieces? I found this thread but it does not specify if javascript is allowed or not allowed. This site had an example of hiding it using javascript.

It is not allowed to hide the Smugmug credit in the footer. A long time ago, it used to be allowed so a few sites have it grandfathered in (and some sites do it without permission), but Smugmug does not allow you to hide it now.

This seems inappropriate to me for pro accounts, but those are the rules they have.

The way to bypass this rule is to hire a third party to customize your site, and just ask them to remove the footer. But you have to pay the big bucks to the customization company (there are lots), and you might end up with complicated code. SmugMug probably shouldn't allow this, but they actually end up featuring a lot of these sites, so I guess they ultimately don't care.

Note: there is a way to "vote" for SmugMug to revert to their old policy (allowing the removal). The voting page is here: http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/1613543-allow-pros-to-remove-footer

I don't quite understand. You recommend having a third party do the customization, which I can do myself. Are you suggesting that third party customizers have access to some type of additional feature that I don't? – dpollitt Jul 30 '12 at 15:35
