    Ah, thats not Traditional, thats SingleImage...but yeah my fault for not seeing what you were talking about.

    ImageKey is indeed missing on that page. I'll make sure to add it for my next round of updates.

    Sorry about that.
    When might that round take place?

    When it does. Sorry Anthony, we can't & don't give dates. But rest assured, it's on the list to be addressed.

    I'm certain it's on the "to do list." But when my site is broken I can't rest very well... I guess I can only hope it's sooner than later....

    Hi Anthony, your site isn't broken, a hack you used to do a very specific thing is not working anymore, as a result of changes we've made. Hacks are like that. I'm going out on a limb and say that there are very few, if any, other customers using that specific hack that you have that's broken. But we will get it done, I promise you that.

    I know SM is working on fixes to their new structure. I also know it is not possible to anticipate every glitch that will arise when changes are made. But if my site is not working as I intend it to then it's broken. Whether it's a hack that ceased working or not.
    I'm sure SM is "on the case." I am at your mercy since I can not fix it, nor can any of the heros... I do not like being at someone else's mercy :(

    Andy, this raises an interesting question for those who customize their site. How does one know what is a "supported customization" and what is a "hack" that might break at any time?

    If it's on http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq.mg you can bet it's supported

    If it's in the "Advanced FAQ" http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52811 then there are cases where sometimes things might bust or need modification.

    If it's a one-off or really obscure hack, well, patience is appreciated thumb.gif

    Here are your links, Andy :-)
    Example links

    http://www.smugmug.com/keyword/all/sunflower#255491833
    twelve total thumbnails... only TWO that actually appear, the rest are blank frames!

    http://www.smugmug.com/keyword/all/flowers#256368645
    see the 6th & 7th thumbnails-blank

    http://www.smugmug.com/keyword/all/seashells#254285461
    see the 9th thumbnail-blank!

    Hope that illustrates this for you?

    Anxiously awaiting your explanation... so I can learn

    Mark, try clearing your browser's cache? I see all the thumbs there. Same for the other two links, we see 'em fine here.

    thanks again for looking into this.
    As a temporary fix, I am using the window.location function

    ImageKey and ImageID are now there for all templates that have a main image (and they even accurately reflect what that main image is! bonus!)

    do some of the OLD URLs to images simply not work anymore? on the entire left side of my side, i tend to rotate through images on smugmug... while the thumbs (which are hotlinked) still work, the links to the images themselves aren't working... and they're simply dropping off in random order.

    i checked them about 2 weeks ago, and all of em worked. yesterday, i noticed 2 of em didn't work anymore and when i clicked the links to the large images, it instead forwarded me to smugmug.com.

    (on my 4theriders site)

    here's one of the current thumbs that works as well as link to L that suddenly stopped working the other day, never changed the code...

    I have a theory that external linking protection has been tightened up in the latest security changes to you should verify that external linking is allowed to any galleries that you want to use in this way.

    Any update on this? I'm finding that direct image URL's in other sizes like S, M, L, etc, are still working even in a private gallery or if the sitewide password is turned on.
