You guys rock. Please keep the site this way.

The slide show is still ‘misbehaving’ - flicking back and forth between the first few images in the gallery (both on manual advance and auto-play).

In manual advance mode, even when one clicks to go forward (say from image 3 to image 4) it insists on taking one back to image No.1.

In auto mode it just goes ‘all over the place’ between the images currently loaded.

Is it only me that is having this behaviour? No one else has commented on it.

Two things on slideshow -

1) Now working generally well on recently uploaded galleries, but there seems to now be a “quirk” whereby it keeps flashing back and forth between current image and first image in gallery. Perhaps this is before it has fully loaded - but it does make one’s head spin!

2) I suggested before that captions (descriptions) should be manually selectable on/off in menu so that one could see them when in auto play. However that would not help if no description had been entered. Personally I would like actual file names to be visible when pop-up menu was visible - or indeed to be customisable on or off. At the moment in slide show mode there seems to be no way of noting the file number of a picture one likes during the slideshow - only by leaving slide show mode every time to discover filename.

At last!! - recently uploaded Galleries with a lot of images do seem to actually run as a slideshow now - brilliant.

BUT Galleries uploaded a while back still will not run as a slideshow - surely I haven’t got to re-upload absolutely everything in order for it to work?!

Perhaps - to satisfy all situations - it might be possible to have scolling thumbnails which could be turned on/off from within the slideshow itself - like the full-screen control.

May I also add, Rob and Dave,that I wish the slideshow would not just slide coz it’s dizzying to watch it. Can you not make the pictures dissolve or fade out to the next ? Like Berto , i wish the thumbnails would still be there so we can monitor if the slide we wish to focus on is coming. Will the time come when we can add music to our slideshows? Thanks for continuously making improvements on the site.

Sorry! To correct my post,

Just to comment on a post, I’ve found out that the SLIDESHOW only works for galleries of files with the following extensions: JPEG, and png. If just one bitmap or air file is included in the gallery, the SLIDESHOW won’t run.

Last comment (for now!) -

The captions work fine when advancing manually - BUT when one goes to autoplay the captions do not show at all unless one touches the mouse every time a new image appears!

Would it perhaps be better to have a contol to toggle captions on/off. Perhaps On by default with the option for the viewer to hide them.
