Slide Show Stretching

Dougs

Hey guys,

I've noticed (actually some time ago) on my site - dougs.smugmug.com - that when viewing a slideshow, when moving from a portrait photo to a landscape and visa versa the first picture squeezes or stretches sort of like it's anticipating the size of the picture that follows. Is there a fix for this? Or could it be that I'm doing something wrong? (Nah, not likely! :-)

Thanks,
Doug

Mine also does the same thing. I have IE and winXP viewing on a 21 " CRT.
Photo Host Zenfolio works perfectly with same pictures.

IE6 has to be the most used browser isn't it?

I reported this here back in Nov 2005

I'll ask JT to comment again.

Yeah IE6 is the most used browser, too bad, innit?

I'd like us to be able to fix that issue, thanks for bringing it up again.

Andy, yes - I use IE6 and I guess so do a lot of people. That's one issue that people bring up after they've visited my site. They think it's great but ask what's going on with slideshows. I look forward to the fix.

and I've asked our engineers to comment (again) on this...

Thanks.
