Feb 11	comment	How can I add my email address to my SmugMug site in a way that spammers won't find it? @AndyWilliams - Smugmug's builtin contact form only works for pro users so this answer seems like a legit suggestion for how to allow non-pro users to contact you without subjecting yourself to SPAM. Maybe you don't want to use this option, but it seems like a legit answer and suggestion for others to consider.
Feb 11	comment	How can I add my email address to my SmugMug site in a way that spammers won't find it? +1 for simplicity. The only downside is that the viewer can't highlight and copy the email address - they have to retype it.
Feb 11	comment	Is there a way to link SmugMug's contact form for Pros elsewhere on my site, like my navbar? @AndyWilliams - Info is in the referenced post. If you set a bio photo, that will appear instead of the man with the old camera.
Feb 10	comment	What services are available to hire to customize my smugmug site? Fastline is the contributor of the Fastline Media Full Screen slideshow that many on Smugmug have used.
Feb 9	comment	Why limit to sRGB? Assuming sRGB is a common misconception. The fact is the non-color-aware browsers just don't know anything about color spaces so they don't really assume anything.
Feb 9	comment	Why limit to sRGB? Part of this is not correct. Browsers that are not color-aware are just dumb. They don't `assume sRGB`. They just dump the image colors from the image file directly to the screen without any mapping/manipulation to match anything. What they are actually assuming by default is that the image colorspace matches your video card/monitor's color space. If this happens to be true, you could get OK colors. If they were both sRGB or both adobeRGB or both proPhotoRGB, the images could display OK. Today's LCD panels often have some capabilities of sRGB and some of adobeRGB - matching neither.
Feb 7	comment	Differences between Smugmug and Zenfolio for power and pro? @dpollitt - I used the `smugmugdifferences` tag because this post by a Smugmug employee had used it so I thought it was going to be a common tag for posts like this that compared Smugmug to something else. I don't feel strongly either way, just thought either both of these posts or neither or these posts should use it to be consistent.
Feb 6	comment	Is there a way to add Advanced Customizer button to the Tool menu I was hoping to add the `customization` tag to this question, but the site won't let me (not enough reputation).
Feb 6	comment	Differences between Smugmug and Zenfolio for power and pro? This is a question asking for the factual differences between the two services. I can see no reason why it should have been closed. Note: I did not ask which service was better. I asked what the differences were between them. I also would suggest that when a moderator just whacks a question like this that they post some info about why - particular in the beta period.
Feb 5	comment	What image sizes are available from SmugMug natively and can I request specific sizes? @cabbey - you can't edit because the table is an image, not text. You can propose edits for accepted answers. I have a proposed edit on this very answer (that is waiting for acceptance votes).
Feb 5	comment	Which domain should I load users' content (photos/videos) from? Might as well add `http://cdn.smugmug.com/...` and `http://api.smugmug.com/...` to the list too.
Feb 4	comment	Is there a way to leave comments using the API? For SPAM reasons, I would be surprised if Smugmug supports anonymous comments via the API. In the Smugmug service itself, a CAPTCHA is required.
Feb 4	comment	Is there any social aspect to SmugMug? Posted a meta question about this answer here: meta.smugmug.stackexchange.com/q/49/177.
Jan 30	comment	Will Smugmug continue supporting YUI2, even though they now have YUI3? @dpollitt - You removed all three YUI tags and added a tag that I thought was irrelevant. If you had only reduced the YUI tags from 3 to 1, I might have been OK with that. I just disagreed with the edit and have the right to say so and do something about it. I did not think you improved it so I used the tools given to me to rollback. YUI2 and YUI3 are existing tags in other stacks (more than a hundred YUI3 questions). I didn't create them and I subscribe to questions about them. I'm well versed in the collaborative aspects of SE in other stacks (33,000 rep points in StackOverflow).
Jan 30	comment	Will Smugmug continue supporting YUI2, even though they now have YUI3? I'm starting to feel like it's too much work to get by the question police here. I don't understand why the draconian editing and super tight rules. It's a legit question looking for an answer.
Jan 30	comment	Will Smugmug continue supporting YUI2, even though they now have YUI3? The YUI tags are not irrelevant. I reduced the YUI tags from three to two after the rollback, though I don't see why it's a big deal either way. I wanted to specify that this was a question related to two specific YUI versions and didn't know if everybody who subscribed to YUI would be looking at the YUI version-specific tags so I put the general tag on it too. What's the big deal with the three YUI tags?
Jan 30	comment	Will Smugmug continue supporting YUI2, even though they now have YUI3? It's a legit question that I have as one who has authored and supports a lot of Smugmug customizations. If these type of questions are off-topic, then you should vote to close it as such. I had not seen that meta question (I don't read everything). It's also a question that would be relevant to LOTs of other people who have written javascript customizations any time in the last 5+ years. I thought it was a useful question to have an answer to in the public.
Jan 30	comment	Will Smugmug continue supporting YUI2, even though they now have YUI3? @dpollit - this is not a feature request in any way so I rolled back your edit to remove that tag and put two of the YUI tags back on because they are certainly relevant. I'm not asking for a new feature. I'm asking if they will continue to support what they have right now. It's just a simple question with possible answers (yes - indefinitely, no - you should be migrated off it right now because supports stops at x date, yes - no plans to remove it, you will receive plenty of notice if plans change).
Jan 29	comment	Lowest JPEG compression setting for non inkjet output? @dpollitt - while it is a general question, it has a LOT to do with Smugmug and it is both a common question and a common misuse of uploaded photos on Smugmug.
Jan 29	comment	Lowest JPEG compression setting for non inkjet output? I would add that JPEG 12 or Lightroom 100% are absolute overkill for prints or screen. All they do is make the images multiple times larger to store and upload and the print and screen results are indistinguishable from JPEG 10 or Lightroom 90.
