A few questions

Neener

Hi
This is my first post here, but I've got a couple of questions that I could not seem to find anywhere else.
First, I too have to say that I do not care for the Lightbox feature.
I had just got the layouts I wanted for my galleries and was in the process of making them all the same. But since the last update, I'm having problems with a few things.
1.) Each gallery is or will be done in the Traditional style. Before the new features, I used to be able to click on the drop down list for each photo and add a caption to it and also select one photo as the feature photo to show on the list of galleries page. The only way I seem to be able to get this to work now, is if I change my gallery style to smugmug, add the captions, pick the feature photo, and then back to traditional when I'm finished.
2.) Arranging the photos is another problem. How do you move photos from page to page? I have some photos on page 3 of a gallery and would like to move them to page one. But if I click the box for arrange mode, it only allows me to move them around on that page they are on. That too used to be done with the drop down list. Now I have to do the same thing I did with captions. Change to smugmug style, move the photos and then back to traditional style.
Is there an easier way to do these 2 things so it's not quite so time consuming?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :
Here is a link to one of my galleries that I am referring to.

Thanks for the feedback - we appreciate it! Can you give us some specifics on exactly what you don't like about it?

Your preferred viewing size is probably set to Original - change that, to Large and then the cookie will remember it. Then, in Traditional style,when you click once, you'll go to single image view and your tools will be right there, as always.

Yes - very easily Change your view style to "all thumbs" just for this purpose, and then change back. Or, under Photo Tools, choose "Drag and Drop Photos"

I hope this helps! Holler back if I can be of any service at all.

All the best,

Andy
