Collage - URL to position to a specific photo

Ferguson

Is there a URL that can be used to position the Collage page scroll to a specific photo?

For example, I have a gallery from a tournament that had 5 or so games in it (or think matches in tennis, etc.). Is there a way to put a URL on a page, or send to someone, that will open that gallery (easy) and position to a specific photo?

I know how to send someone to a specific photo as a lightbox, but having done so, when they close, they go back to the top of the gallery (unlike if you had scrolled down, clicked an image).

Hi - when you click the 'Share' button below the image or in the lightbox select "Get a Link". There is all sorts of options in sharing the photo and gallery.
Let me know how I can help - jerry

I can't see that any of them leave the gallery displayed at that point.

For example, if I chose the lightbox (the only one that seems relevant) it does indeed position you to the lightbox of a specific photo, but when you "X" out of it the gallery (usually) shows up positioned at the very first photo.

It is a bit confusing whether that works. For example I tried getting a lightbox link on Chrome, and when i tried it on the same Chrome window (new tab) it did preserve the scroll state. But paste the same link into a new browser and it did not. So I think the scroll is somehow in a session state or cookie or something, perhaps. So if you test this in a single browser without clearing out it appears to work.

But in a fresh context the lightbox link does not return you to the same scroll position, which is what I'm looking for.

If you would like to try it, here is a gallery lightbox link to photo #131 in a gallery with over 200 shots.

If you click on it, you should see that image ( a slide to home) but if you close that lightbox image it will likely come back to the top of the gallery.
