Great news, I enjoy seeing old sites like Flickr being saved from oblivion. SmugMug is a great company too.

On a side note, this is a terrible announcement page when viewed on FireFox 59. It's barely usable. It works well on Chrome though.

Its either poor design by SmugMug, superior design by Google Chrome, or leveraging some capability of chrome not available on FireFox. The cake flying is delayed by 1+ second each scroll. Please do more cross-browser testing!

We did a ton of cross-browser testing, but it's possible we missed something or had a regression. Checking. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm on Firefox ESR, and while the pages functioned just fine, the performance is...lacking. I think the degraded experience mostly comes down to crappy framerates on the parallax effect.

Pretty much kills Safari. Me thinks you need a better scroll library / implementation.

Yah I'm on a 2016 15" MBP running 10.13.4 and Safari 11.1 and the site is almost unusable for me. If you want more specific information or would like me to test fixes you can email me at my user name @ gmail.com

The <div class="top-shadow"> covers the scroll bar at the top of the browser window (in Firefox) effectively rendering the scroll bar disabled for the top 1/3 of the window. Additionally, page down and space keys are disabled for navigation. I'm not sure its possible to scroll using any key on the keyboard.

This site definitely kills the Firefox on both Mac and Android (can barely scroll or not at all). Hopefully not a sign of things to come...

I didn't even notice there was animation, I scrolled past too quickly. Visiting it again you have to wait a large number of seconds (for something to download presumably) before the animation starts.

On chrome I cannot use the scrollbar by scrolling whilst the youtube is in eyeshot, but I can use the scrollbar by clicking above/below the slider. Weird. They need to simplify.

Magnifying setting?
