On my slide show www.donferrario.com/yellowstone/best, if I view in Chrome the double-headed arrow for full screen display works. If I view in Internet Explorer the double headed arrow appears but does nothing. Is this a known issue? Easy to say "use chrome" but most of my viewers don't know what a browser is so they use the Windows default IE.

    As another data point....

    Interesting. I never even noticed the double arrow, but I see the same behavior on my home page as you do on yours.

    I didn't try to see how SM invokes it, I know IE didn't support the full screen API until IE 11, but I'm IE11 so it is not (just) that.

    Firefox works as expected as does chrome.

    I'm seeing the same thing.

    Smug has never supported a full screen slideshow on IE. I think there were problems in previous versions but I can't imagine that IE11 has the same problems. I'd love to see this behavior changed so IE matches the other browsers.

    I just checked - I have the slideshow button in all of my galleries. If I click it in Chrome or Firefox the slideshow is full screen. If I click it in IE the slideshow is the size of the browser window.

    I can understand that Smugmug can't make the browser go full screen (no menus, etc), but I don't understand why the double-arrow button does not at least cause the image to fill the available space. That functionality works fine in the Smugmug galleries by clicking on the picture, it triggers a slide show that fills the browser. The user can then push F11 to go full frame if desired. Why doesn't the actual slide show bot do the same thing as a gallery in slide show mode? I don't see a way for a slide show to fill the browser in IE.
