The front page for the site

wolfepakt · Jul 21, 2004

Hey guys,
I haven't been a round in a while and when I typed www.thephotoforum.com the first thing I see is a nude woman..... At home this would be no big deal, but at work, with sensitive people around and I really don't want to get accused of browsing porn or sexual harrasment.

The suggestion I would give on this is when the contest winner is perhaps put a warning and a link to the picture or move it a ways down the screen with a warning.... the key here is a warning and the ability to bypass it if we are browsing to this wonderful awesome amazing educational site in a place were there could be the possibility of getting in major trouble for a picture such as this.... (it is a great pic by the way...)

Nice suggestion!

Or, you could add /forum to the url and bypass the main page altogether.

I had no idea that pic was there, I don't think I've been to the main page (until just now) for 8 or 9 months.

Sorry about that.

Its a great point and I didn't even think about it. The image has been changed to a link to the photo, along with a "may not be work safe" message.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry if it caused anyone any trouble!

No trouble, just something I noticed...... (fortunely before anyone else saw it

)

Its funny, I rarely look at the home page, so I never even thought about it (even though I was the one that posted it there). :roll:

Its a shame that you even have to think that way, considering what a great photo it is...but such is life!

I didn't even know there was a homepage until about 6 months after I'd been here!!

:shock:

Thats what I always do. This site is bookmarked with the '/forum' tail.
I haven't had any problems yet re. the homepage. But was cautious when ppl were around!

It sure is an awesome photo, but ppl around may not be all that awesome always

What's the difference between the photo in question and a photo of someone wearing clothes? They would both be photos of someone with parts of their bodies covered up.

I'm sure that nobody around here is offended by the photo in question...but just the thought that someone, anyone, would be offended...drives me crazy. I think that kids (and others) should see more images like this one. It would be good contrast to the typical images of scantily clad women that they are bombarded with.

Its not the kids BM, its the adults who would be mortified!

Sad but true. I hate to see this kind of stuff being covered up. It is a beautiful picture and shouldn't have to be censored. Of course this is just my opinion and some person out there who gets offended by a change in the direction of the wind will see it differently. The world just needs to open its eyes and appreciate the beauty in things. Honestly, I love that picture and I agree with Big Mike I think we should see more images like this!
