Smugmug Style -- Always In Small (new site)

lynnesite

Hello fellow smuggers,
I have a Hero request in, but I thought I'd ask you guys if you've seen this.

In three different themes, if I override the design default in favor of Smugmug style, instead of at least a medium-sized larger photo along with thumbs, it is small only. XL is enabled on the galleries I tried, and clicking on the bigger photo does go to the XL as a stand-alone.

That is the only thing keeping me from throwing the switch on the new site. But for someone that shoots a lot of events, it's a deal breaker. No matter how lovely the journal style is, my customers aren't gonna scroll through hundreds to find theirs. Thumbs are too small. They need to identify their horses and their attire.

264,000 photos viewed this month, and I don't want to jam up the works. Can't wait to share the goodness though. Have to figure out how to get my Wufoo contact form into the new site, but that along with a few organizational things can wait.

Can't be done at the moment. Need to host it elsewhere and link externally.

Thanks, Paul--good to know. Is that what you're going to do?

I can not believe nobody else is encountering this issue with smugmug-style. Absolute deal breaker for me. So far the responding Hero doesn't seem to grasp its significance for event shooters. Having to click to see what ought to be already at least medium or large displayed next to thumbs is an unnecessary extra step. I can't believe this was smuggy's intent. So disappointed.

I asked for escalation to another tier. Feeling very sad.

Trey Ratcliff's video doesn't show smugmug style in small. When he clicks on a photo in a gallery shown in journal, it switches to smugmug style.

Dug a little deeper. I finally determined the thing to do was to go to "Entire Site", and make sure it is STRETCHY. All is well. Off for final tweaks and to let 'er rip.
