New Photo Gallery
By popular demand we added a new photo gallery option for you to use with your TotSite! Some of the new features include:
- Updated Gallery page. Previously there was one photo gallery displayed per row. When you have 30 photo galleries it made your visitors scroll more than they should. Now three photo galleries are displayed per row.
- Photo thumbnails were moved above the main photo.
- Slideshow controls were moved above the main photo.
- A more dynamic slideshow speed control bar was added.
Check out an example of the new slideshow. You can control which version of the slideshow appears on your site by logging in to your site, going to the main Photo page, and selecting the “slider” gallery option in the Photo Tasks box.
If you have comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to let us know!

Hooray!!! We have been waiting for this for some time now. The old gallery style just was not what we were looking for.
THANK YOU for listening to our suggestions.

I selected the slider option and the albums still look the same with the toolbar and photos beneath the picture. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Does it only make the change to new albums I create?

Hi Beth,
The gallery setting is “session” based. This means you need to close all your Browsers and then visit your TotSite for you to see the changes. If this still does not work let us know!

I like the original version of the photo slide show better. I don’t like the thumbnail pictures above the main picture. I think all of that above is taking away from the picture itself. I liked them better below. Also, The pictures don’t slide into the next picture like in the original. I sometimes have a picture in color and then the same picture in black and white right after it and with the new version it shows the picture then takes it away and then shows the next, where as the original version it slides right into the next picture making it look more like a fading effect.
However, I DO like the dynamic slideshow speed control bar. It gives more of a speed choice instead of only getting to choose the fastest at 5 seconds.

I love the new gallery – thank you for getting this online for us. I can’t wait for the new custom theme someone from support mentioned last week!
