Help - # of gallery thumbnails changed???

saltydog

Did I miss some kind of announcement? Suddenly, all my galleries show only 9 thumbnails per page instead of the usual 15. I checked in my settings, but didn't see any place where I can change this back to the way it was.

Is this a glitch, or a new smugmug feature?

Thanks,
Jana

EDIT: it gets worse - I just realized that some of my galleries don't show any images at all anymore. Do you guys have maintenance going on (10:14 Eastern Daylight time right now)?

You don't have stretchy turned on - so you get 12 thumbs if your window is 1024 or wider. http://saltydogphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/2588826_u4CTj#136438364

9 thumbs if it's a small window.

Thanks Andy. But I guess it must have been some kind of glitch. I never changed that "stretchy" setting, and now all of my galleries show 15 thumbnails again. Actually, I pick the pictures for my gallery carefully, so that the 15 thumbs somehow create a "unit" if possible, and also so that people never have to click on more than 3 pages per gallery, because in my estimation, that stretches everybody's attention span to the limit.

But, it's all back so no worries .

P.S.: While I am at it, my location doesn't show up below my avatar anymore, although I have it enabled in my settings. Any idea why?

Fill the the rest of the boxes with a space and see if that works.

16 thumbs and a medium image looks really tiny on my 30" monitor.

Oh, the mysteries of ... Smugmug? Computers? Programming? But yes, it worked, thanks Allen .

@ Andy - a 30" monitor? I hadn't even heard of such a thing, you're obviously driving a Cadillac there ! But, I can't compose my thumbs around such monster, especially since I'm still stuck with a good old 17" versionl . For me it's more about what most people will be viewing my pages on, and even my computer geek friends are still "clinging" to nothing larger than a 21-inch model, makes me think that a 17" monitor isn't all that unusual...

Even on a smaller screen, I think your galleries look better if you turn stretchy on. Compare the size of the images shown in one of my smugmug-style galleries (with stretchy enabled on my site) to one of your galleries. The image is bigger, even if I'm not on a 30" monitor like Andy.

Stretch and shrink your browser window and see what happens...
