the LINKS feature isn't removed....it's renamed "Share"
I'd already looked at the "Share" function but had initially overlooked the non-traditional toggle at the top of the screen which looks like this: Flaunt your photos: email | forums / blogs / etc
Once I deselected email in deference to the forums / blogs / etc then I saw the familiar LINKS function. It seems to me that a more obvious UI needs to be installed for this function. I'm happy but will others who've not seen this message make the same mistake as me?
Thanks for your assistance in guiding me to the light.

Al,
I posted in another thread that SM have implemented some changes that will remember what tab was previously selected and default to that in future.
This code should be rolled out in the next few days.
Make sure you have sharing enabled in the gallery customizations. I checked in this gallery and found that you did not have sharing enabled. When you do get it enabled you can reveal the share button by deleting this code from your customization:

If you're using images as banners then create 2 of them. One needs to be the width of the smugmug_small (750 plus the width of any padding and borders) and the other the width of the smugmug gallery (960 plus the width of any padding and borders). You may want another one for the Large gallery styles (single image large, filmstrip large, slideshow large etc) that is 800px plus padding and border widths.
Then do something like this:
/* Default header for homepage and narrow gallery styles */
#myHeader {
width:770px;
background:url(/photos/XXXXXX-O.gif) top center no-repeat;
}
/* Very wide header for smugmug and critique gallery styles */
.smugmug #myHeader,
.critique #myHeader {
width:980px;
background:url(/photos/YYYYYYY-O.gif) top center no-repeat;
}
/* Medium sized header for galleries with Large or Original sized photos in them */
.Large #myHeader,
.Original #myHeader {
width:820px;
background:url(/photos/ZZZZZZZZ-O.gif) top center no-repeat;
}
Mike, thanks for the detailed reply for getting around this. Although it wont now be necessary the information re sizes etc is useful and I'll keep it handy, just in case.
Just checked my galleries and all is fine except:- http://photographyuk.smugmug.com/gallery/2344991
This is my html only page 'about me' and although it is set to smugmug small it only shows as smugmug.
If i select 'traditional' it sizes down to the small size but then there is a 'share photo' box in the window.
Any thoughts please ?

Thanks Andy,
Is this how to create smugmug small galleries now?
Although the smugmug small option is available in the customize gallery options it doesn't seem to work ??

just made a test on your site (photography category) you can delete it.... WITH a photo, the gallery shows smugmug small - with no photo, at first, it shows wide even though you've had the gallery set to smugmug small.
I'm asking our engineers. In the meantime, you can use the above css trick

We're adding a JavaScript variable shortly (I hope today, but depends on testing. Definitely soon) that will enable you to have SmugMug Small back again.
It will be on automatically if you've set your gallery to use SmugMug Small in the past.
Sorry about overlooking this, but thanks for your feedback - we'll make it right.

Don - Thank you for taking a personal interest in this matter. I have always found the staff, and management, of SM to be top notch. Great job!
While I have your ear, I have another issue I would like to address. Is there a technical reason why pro account holders (or all users for that matter) are restricted from entering their own description for their home page? As has been expressed many times before on Dgrin, it would benefit pro account holders to have a description of their website/services show in a search engine results list. As you are no doubt aware, the current scenario is that the description is an advertisement for SM.

Will you change this?
Thanks again for your time.
I can't say if Don will post directly to this or not. But we are aware that you and others would like this. We discuss this frequently, though we've no immediate plans to change it. I will again mention this to the team, thanks!
