Description Mathieu MD 2016-05-03 22:23:26 UTC

On https://www.digikam.org/, at the bottom of the right column, there is a bunch of links which does not seems too much related to digiKam:

DHgate.com
Surrey Apollosoul
Health and Safety Training
BMW cars
Car Brands
How to start a blog
1 Minute Review
IQ Option review
Gmail login

If it's friends links, maybe it could be titled as it, in order to prevent naive persons like me to believe your site has been pirated ;-)

PS: By the way, is https://www.digikam.org/forum a planned project? If not, is there any official place for talking about digiKam? If there is, maybe replace the /forum page by a redirect to it.

Reproducible: Always

There are annotated 'Featured Sponsors'

Are you sure? I cannot see any mention of that around these links. Maybe it's blocked by my Firefox plugins (uBlock, NoScript, RefControl), so I tried https://www.url2png.com/ and it still doesn't show any label:

yes, i'm sure

Comment 4 Mathieu MD 2016-05-04 06:51:12 UTC

Well, it must be some kind of magic. ;-)
The HTML source-code does not include a single "featured" or "sponsors":
