Slideshow via keyword - Is this normal?

If you click on 'black and white' from my home page, you get MY images that are keyworded as black and white. No problem. But if you then click on the Slideshow link about the photo to the right, you get what appears to be all photos keyworded black and white from smugmug, not just my photos. Is that normal?

    I only get your photos when I click Slideshow.

    Ok that's strange...it worked for me that time too...so I tried it a few more times (going to my home page not logged in, clicking on the black and white popular keyword tag below and then clicking on the slideshow link...and it's happened at least one other time in those 4 or 5 times I retested it. I'll keep trying to see if I can figure out if it's a certain browser or a certain way I'm doing something.

    Ok I got it to hapen again...but I used the exact same process to get to it so it seems it's hit and miss. I'm not doing anything different. here's a shot at the other photos I get when it's not showing my slideshow...

    I'm using Google Chrome in incognito mode. I'll try other browsers logged out of my account to see if I can find a common thread.

    Ok I've tried this over and over (refreshing the main page before clicking on the keyword link to get to a gallery of the target keyword photos, then clicking slideshow) and it's happened a total of 3 times - each time in Google Chrome...but there's no other common things I can point to other than Chrome. It's not a big deal and apparently it's not happening much. It's just something I noticed. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Ok it done it again this morning. Just a couple minutes ago when I for the first time today clicked on my home page's black and white keyword link....I got the gallery of black and white keyworded photos of mine and then when I clicked on slideshow I got this (definitely not my photos)...

    I got that after clicking on the slideshow button on this page (correct photos show on the page, incorrect photos show in the slideshow). I swear to God it's happening and I'm not doing anything boneheaded to make it happen ;) the link to the wrong photos by way of the Slideshow button remains until I refresh the page or go back to the main page and go through the process all over again. I have the page source text from that page with the link to the wrong slideshow if you want me to email it to someone. CORRECTION: the page with the bad slideshow link continues to have the link to the wrong slideshow even if I refresh the page...it only goes back to normal (showing my images in the slideshow) if I go through the whole process of getting to that keyword gallery again. And for this instance that it happened I was logged in to my smugmug account in this browser session.

    FYI - I did more testing and I can make this happen every time today in Google Chrome working in the Incognito Mode. It doesn't seem to happen in IE 8 Beta 2 or Firefox. Maybe it's a weird issue with Chrome. If that's all it is I'm not worried about it. Just didn't want it to be happening for lots of other people. My guess would be if you don't use Chrome or don't use it in Incognito Mode, you won't see this problem. It does happen occasionally in Chrome while NOT in the Incognito Mode too...but it's only occasional.

    My browser bookmark has the www in it. So I should keep the www out huh? I also had the www in the hyperlink on my banner but I just changed that.
