I managed to click them and they expanded to normal size. Steve- there are baffling amounts of settings for input of photos and I struggle to comprehend. By adding functionality you have lost usability to all but the most expert. Can you publish a step-by-step guide, somewhere obvious for all to see, explaining how to do it with worked example?

Colin's photatoes (photos of potatoes I suppose) are really small. I can't view them very well and the slideshow function of the gallery doesn't work.

Thanks for the head's up on a possible problem Kin, but I can't replicate the problems. When the first link page opens you should be presented with a page full of thumbnails, clicking on a thumbnail should then open a single image.

The slideshow function does, apparently, work but it's crap as a very crap thing. I got it to work by letting it chug away for the 'net equivalent of a decade and then it sort of popped up the images. Recommendation: that function is hopelessly useless, avoid.

I agree with where you're coming from Colin, well sort of. the unfortunate thing is that the Gallery is an off-the-shelf package, so to speak, and the options open to me to direct its functionality are extremely limited. I doubt I'd be ale to generate a step-by-step guide that was anything other than extremely cumbersome and prolly unintelligible. Perhaps you might fare better if you followed something similar to the route I follow and pick one methodology and stick with it?

When I'm uploading I prepare my images to something like 800x600, for "landscape" orientated images, or 600x800 for "portrait" images. then, on the "upload" page I slect the second tab-option from the left, the one entitled "Upload Applet". It let's you do a few things before you upload, but I use it because it makes it easier (for me) to see what's going on before I upload. The options further to the right are discombobulteringly confusing so I avoid, like the proverbial plague.

Is that any help?

Cheors,

The thing is Steve, when I saw Amanda and Alison at Crag Lough, they didn't think the thumbnails were showing off their prize assets in the best possible way. They would really like these pictures in particular to be expanded.
