Yes, I don't have to scroll down, if I make the whole page 33% of normal size....then everything is too small to look at, but I sure don't have to scroll or page down! I think a better solution might be to allow users to customize the view, with how many rows of user pictures they want to see at the top. But if this is just a problem for me and another guy, then it is not worth changing!

My suggestion would be to move the photo you are trying to view so that it is above the thumbnails of photos. This is a page layout change that WCI.com could do for us. I think if this took place we would not need to scroll down to see the picture. Just my two cents

OK. I think I've figured it out.
I've removed the headers when you go into the slideshow mode. I've reduced the number of thumbnails to one line when you're just flipping through the photos. I can't find a place to change the thumbnails to under the photo. Please let me know what you think.

Best Regards,

Hi Bob, EXCELLENT thanks so much for making the change it makes viewing, for me, much more pleasant. I have no ideas how hard it is to make changes like this, but I do appreciate the work you've done. I almost (-: hate to ask, but could you do the same thing for when the pics are viewed one by one clicking on 'next'? If, not I'll deal with it.

Again, , for taking care of my complaint.

Ron

Hi Ron,
Unfortunately, I don't have the option to change it when you click on "next." I did reduce the lines of thumbnails above the photo from 3 down to 1, but that's the only real option I have...
