The plugin works great, but I noticed that when it is active the textareas in my wordpress dashboards are reduced to 10-12 lines. I discussed this in the thesis theme forum (the one I'm using). Thesis 1.8 ; wordpress 3.01. Here's a link (but I don't know if you can enter; if so, tell me and I will send you an email with the whole discussion). Could you please help? Thank you :) Hi there,

The problem comes with Firefox. On each post or page I have a block of text to the left hand side and the gallery on the right. With IE and Chrome there is a gap between the text and gallery, but with Firefox they but up or overlap with each other. Can anyone help? Hi there,

I want to be able to have a static webpage (like on a kiosk or store window display) that continuously displays the slide show images. But, when someone goes to the underlying Picasa album from a remote PC and edits the album by adding or deleting photos, or rearranging the order of photos, I want the slide show display to automatically refresh and display the changes in the album. I can put html meta code in the wordpress header to automatically refresh the page (i.e. for page refresh every 5 minutes) but even with this code (or a manual browser refresh such as hitting F5 in IE) doesn't cause your flash plug-in to reload the photo gallery with the new changes. Is there a setting or some other code that I can do to force your plug-in to refresh the Picasa album? Thanks, Jeff Hi Paul,

I'm lovin it. However, is there any way to change the caption so that it falls to the right of the image? Normally, I would do this with width settings on the image part and float:right for the caption. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Gigi Hello!

Its a great plugin for showing photos. Did you ever think of a mixture between noborder (crop) and showall scale? I have the problem that noborder only works perfect on landscape photos but not with a mixture between landscape and portrait photos. Portrait photos are cropped to much. I think of a "bestFit" scale which does "noborder" for photos where orientation is the same as the flash containers orientation and "showall" for the rest. Benefit of this mode would be a perfect crop for photos with similar orienation to container and full display for photos with different orientation. Best Regards/Med vänlig hälsning, Jörn Hi Paul,

Here are two function-suggestions I got during installing and customizing your plugin. Maybe you're interested. First I would find it great to be able to customize the cursors. Could be quite easy translated in referring to external pngs I guess. Then it would be nice to be able to have a prev / next link or paging underneath or at the top of the slideshow. That would make the slideshow-function more obvious to some users. Again, great job! Hello!

Is it because I am using an unusual theme called Minimal? Would really like to get it to work. I have disabled all other image galleries I have been testing.

But when i navigate in archive or categories for other pages with showtime, there is a blank instead of slideshow. It is working only on home page or if i enter the full page url on the address bar. My template is full of ajax by the way. But all other plug-ins or posts, pages widgets work fine. Template is: "smells like facebook " . slideshows can not be seen on deeper and other parts of my sites shortly.. any idea? thanks again.. hi Paul,

You know how if a browser doesn't have flash installed, it just displays all of the gallery images? I think it'd be better if it just showed the first image with a message that flash is needed to view the slideshow. Because with people that have huge slideshows like me, it looks weird when it fails. Thanks though, Zach. Hey, thanks for this slideshow plugin.
