Any chance getting the slide show feature back? It is a lot harder to check out the photo albums without it. Thanks,

Nope, sorry. At least not now.

Not only does it put a huge load on the server, but the existing code doesn't allow me to set limits on what can be included in a slideshow. Nor does it allow me to limit "looping".

With it enabled, nothing would stop anyone from starting a slideshow at the top level album, and running through thousands of pictures endlessly - bringing the server to it's knees, and eating up our limited bandwidth quota in a hurry.

There might some hope for it coming back down the road. I'm just starting to work on some significant upgrades here, which will likely include a much newer version of the photo album software. I've not dug into things enough yet, but if the administrative limits mentioned above are available, I'll look into it.

I've found it easier to create my own gallery with a link for those who are interested. Speaking of....I use to use Kodak gallery until they wanted to charge $$. Is there a similar service available that's user friendly? I'd love to post some pictures of Terra-Sea-Ta's maiden voyage.
