Direct link to slideshow in a gallery description

Dear all
I would like to be able to directly link to a slideshow in one of our galleries and I see that is quite possible by changing the default template ID e.g.
http://miseast.smugmug.com/homepage/templatechange.mg?TemplateID=8&origin=http://miseast.smugmug.com/gallery/2317852
This works nicely but it also leaves the gallery in the slideshow style. I would like visitors to be able to switch it back to the regular style by changing the template ID to 3 using the same technique as above (or any techique for that matter). It seemed like it should be simple enough just to embed the two html links in the description of the gallery so folks can pick what they want but the link seems to get garbled (take a look at http://miseast.smugmug.com/gallery/2317852 to see what I mean - I've left the garbled link in the description).
Has anyone tried anything similar or recognises the problem? Changing the ampersand to '& ' doesn't help either. I suspect there is something very trivial that I have missed.

Your html, so that those who can help, can help
Question, why not just enable the style picker? <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ear.gif" border="0" alt="" >

Ahhhh... I turned it off when I started as I thought I was turning off the theme (which I didn't want people to change). Having turned it back on I think I might be tempted to leave it on as it is nice.
I'll leave the duff html in for a bit now so people can see what this thread is about but then I'll pull it.
Thanks again
Richard
ps. If anyone know the answer to the HTML question I am still interested <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/headscratch.gif" border="0" alt="" >
Just remembered why I switched it off. It then stays in that mode for all of the galleries and I didn't really want that. Some of the galleries were in the form of stories and then the slideshow or even journal were appropriate. For the rest they were just collections of photos and I prefered the default to be the standard smugmug style.
Too many options
