Where have the infographics gone?

I know that this might seem a bit trivial, but when I first had Logos 4, infographics seemed to appear on the home/news page every day, but now they don't seem to appear at all despite all the options being checked! Has anyone else noticed this?

They are still available as a resource - they just don't seem to be coming up on the homepage.

    Stephen,

    My experience has been similar.  I think what you're seeing is a symptom of progress. 

    Logos has been diligently retagging thousands of graphics in all of their resources, as a result the pool of available graphics for the home page is growing.  Thus the random selection is less likely to grab the infographics now than they used to be because the available pool of options has grown.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    That feature was the only reason I looked at the home page.

    Steven,

    You probably know this, but if you type infographic in to your library find box it will load this resource up for you to view to your heart's content. it is not just a homepage item.

    Thanks John (not only for this but also for the many other helps you offer.)

    But yes, I do realize this, and I have even used some of these "image" books as a Reading Plan so that I could see the photos etc on a more regular/organized way. But you are right, some might see that comment and believe that it is not available as a regular resource. I just want to stress/support the position that if there is going to be a home page with a more "visual" foundation etc, this is an important (and recently, often  missing) component.


    Thanks

    Thanks Thomas for your helpful insight - at least I know it's not just my system.

    Thanks to John & Steve for their comments also - I have to say that I really like the visual impact of the homepage and have learnt lots of things I probably wouldn't have followed up unless they appeared. Let's have more infographics, photos, maps & pictures.

    As an aside I think 'Images of the Holy Land" is really good, but Photos from the Holy Land is a real disappointment in terms of image quality. Do you have 'Photos' & what do you think?

    Yes Images of the Holy Land is very well done - photos are quite crisp.

    I have The Biblical World in Pictures, is that what you are referring too? It is also in colour, although perhaps not quite up to the quality of the other resource.

    Photos from the Holy Land - if that is the title , then , no, I don't have it.

    I agree with you. The Photos from the Holy Land are not as crisp and they are somewhat washed out. But that can be remedied by using a photoshop program to change the contrast and brightness. I have attached an example below of "Golgotha" before:

    and after photoshop:
