Good Day

I am needing to update "my gear" gallery:

http://www.wildearthilluminations.com/gallery/1728440/1/91449132

Problem is it has been awhile since I modified it in any way. I want to add some new pictures of gear and delete some old ones. I just remember when I originally did it I had it in "smug mug" view so I could arrange them in the order I wanted, and under "Photo Tools" which seems to be gone at this point, I was able to sort, delete and arrange my gallery as I pleased. I can't seem to do this now.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the gear slide show I have going on?

Help please, Shane

    If you add the bold line below you'll see the photos in the gallery logged in.
    Also you might have more then one page so show the pageNav.

    .gallery_1728440 #photos {display:none;}
    .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 #photos {display:block;}
    .gallery_1728440 .pageNav {display:none;}
    .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 .pageNav {display:block;}

    .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 #breadcrumb {display:block;}

    At the bottom of your CSS look for these.
    .gallery_1728440 #photos {display:none;}
    .gallery_1728440 .pageNav {display:none;}

    Then insert the bold one right after each one.
    .gallery_1728440 #photos {display:none;}
    .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 #photos {display:block;}
    .gallery_1728440 .pageNav {display:none;}
    .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 .pageNav {display:block;}

    Just add this one anywhere there. .loggedIn .gallery_1728440 #breadcrumb {display:block;}

    It's a good idea to make a copy of each customize box in a text file like
    notepad for backup. CSS, header, footer, etc. Do this before you make any
    changes and also after. Save each file with a version number.
    example My_CSS-V1.txt
    This way you can return to any previous version if you mess up.

    Saving images with transparent backgrounds?
    Hi Allen

    That code worked wonderfully, now I have another problem. When I origianally downloaded my gear images I saved them as png's to create a transparent background. The new images I am trying to load appear with a white background even though I am saving them as png's. What am I doing wrong?

    you can display pngs if you make this an html gallery, and you display the Originals NOT any size smaller, and you'll have to use special code for IE6 to display pngs for folks.

    Or, resave them, and put them on a background that matches your look/feel (much easier!)...
