Improving Mindat.orgMineral photos

21st Aug 2018 06:57 UTCOT. Ljøstad Expert

If you search for argentopentlandite from the Talnakh Cu-Ni Deposit locality page, one photo is shown. In its upper left corner there is a Mindat logo, indicating that there are more than one photos of the specimen. If you start your search for argentopentlandite from the Mindat main-page, you get all kinds of mineralogical information for argentopentlandite and on the top there are some photos of argentopentlandite and also some text that says that there are only 2 photos of argentopentlandite on Mindat. The 2 photos are shown. There are no Mindat-logo in the upper left corner of the photo from Talnakh indicating that there are actually 2 more photos of argentopentlandite. Yes, there is an arrow pointing to the right when you click on the photo, but as long as the text says that there are only 1 photo of argentopentlandite from Talnakh, that arrow is easily overlooked. So I think that it would be very helpful for Mindat users if you also put the Mindat-logo in the upper left corners on photos showing on the mineral species main page. Also that you write the correct number of photos of a mineral that can be found on Mindat .

https://www.mindat.org/minlocsearch.php?frm_id=mls&cform_is_valid=1&cf_mls_page=1&minname=Argentopentlandite&region=Talnakh+Cu-Ni+Deposit - There's also a bug at the bottom of the page where the right sided link to the photos overlaps the left link.

The cache needed clearing and already done as it shows 3 photos now. The child photo icon in the corner of photos that are 'head photos' is a good idea, another tool of information could be shown.
