Quick Settings for gallery settings not working!

photogmomma · July 1, 2007

I'm trying to create a NEW gallery setting, but I've tried saving it at least 4 times under different names and it is NOT working and it's driving me crazy!

I've actually had this problem in the past, but decided it was an IBM error. (You know, idiot behind machine.) But this time, I am convinced it's NOT me...

HELP! It's making my life harder by not being able to do this!

Thanks!

I know there no reason for me ask, but I will (afraid andi will slap me).
Are you pressing the "save" button after you select the new settings and name them?:hide
Does this happen with all your browsers?
If you want to, you can email or post the settings, setting name and the gallery you need the new settings and I'll see if I can take care of it.

SAVE! I had never seen that button before!!!

Actually, I'm VERY confused... I just created a new one called "Archived - hidden" and it works fine. Then I tried to create another one in a different gallery called "TB Wedding" and it didn't get made! Maybe it's something with the gallery itself? I dunno.

I'll send you links via email with the information for which galleries (pw protected so I'd rather not post that here). I did it identically each time - and i've made and deleted them many times before without issues.

Thanks!

Make sure you don't have an apostrophe or parenthesis in the password hint field. There is a known bug that will prevent your quick settings from being saved.

Andi, Did you get your settings taken care of? I haven't seen an email from you. Let me know....

Actually, I didn't remove the parentheses and it worked just fine! Just the apostrophe.....

But now everyone thinks I'm grammatically incorrect...:cry

Seriously, that's totally cool. I got it taken care of and I'm in good shape! (Sorry I didn't reply earlier - LOTS going on here!)

Thanks again!!!

(Greg slaps forehead.) So that's the problem! Thanks! I've been cursing that "not working" for months now!

For what it's worth, the html escape sequence ' will give an apostrophe and pass the test.

I also noticed that the PhotoRank picker is now included in the bulk settings. Not sure how long that's been fixed, but thanks.
