Sharegroup help needed!

kpkayuh

I am trying to get a link from Smugmug that I can embed on my website to direct my customers to a group of Galleries. The Galleries are password protected. I have tried Sharegroup but for some reason, the link goes to the owner view of the site - not the visitor view I need.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong - or is there a better way to achieve my goal?
Thanks.

Log out and see what the link looks like. If you're seeing what looks like owner view to you, that's only because you are logged in to your Smugmug site and is not what your visitors would see.

I find it easier to use a second browser (that is never logged in) to test things like this.

Exactly... As to using a second browser, my default is Chrome, and a handy trick is pressing Ctrl+Shift+N to get a new 'Incognito' window, which doesn't access or store any of your cookies or history. This avoids the need to open a different browser for something that's just a quick check. (I still check site modifications and thing of that level in multiple different browsers.)

John: Thanks so much. I did what you suggested and it worked! I was driven to total aggravation over this - and such a simple solution.
