Smugmug Gallery Style Not Working Right

The Smugmug gallery style does not work like it did before. Your window has to be configured close to a 4:3 dimension to keep the main photo from being too large. If your window is a typical 1920 x 1080 (or anything wide like that) the main photo and its title are not completely visible. You have to scroll every time you change photos to see the whole thing.

In Legacy, with the wider window, the number of columns of thumbnails would increase and the main photo would adjust to something smaller. It worked great. An iPad may have a 4:3 ratio but almost all computer screens are wider.

This needs to be fixed to work like it did before. Presently, it is just a mess.

    Yeah, that's a mess. What's more, they put the image number (which is often insignificant to most viewers) directly under the photo, leaving the caption & title almost divorced from the image since it now has to be so far below. Some stuff ends up below the fold. Adding to the silliness, the comments box is below that yet!! I told them in the "Try the New SmugMug" thread that went on for 2 yrs. that the comment box made no sense there & needed to be below the thumbs just as it used to be. But of course that got ignored. It's so weird & so obvious to even the most casual viewer that the entire view is just... lopsided! How many designers did it take to screw in a lightbulb?!
