You are using very large thumbnails in your gallery.
People with a small screen will see just a few thumbs.
In admin you can make a setting for more thumbs:
- Go to ´Themes ´, Click on ´Edit ´ of the right theme (dragonblue).
- Open thumbnails (2x).
- Here you can set a horizontalamount and a verticalamount.

thanks, it works.
another 2 questions if i may
- there is too much space above the thumbs, i would like to pull them upwards (because when i set 3x3 they overlap the text line on the bottom), how can i do that ? i tried to play with the margin setting but it didn't work
- i tried to work on a copy of the bluedragon theme, i copied it and name it bluedragon2 but i can't "apply" it and i can't delete it (it says "bluedragon2 wasn't deleted"). actually i'm using and editing the original bluedragon..
thanks

By default, thumbnails CENTER to the screen. That means there will be the same amount of space ABOVE and UNDER the thumbnails.
You can change the MARGINS by going to admin -> themes -> edit your theme -> thumbnails.margin

thanks for your answer but they don't center in my gallery neither in firefox nor in IE, something must be wrong.
my margins are 100,100,200,100 i haven't changed anything.
they display go too far down, there is too much space above and they even go over the bottom navigation buttons when i click a single image and back

Sounds like you are using either horizontalamount, verticalamount or maxamount for thumbnails display - These don't work very well with the alignment, but you shouldn't need to sue those settings anyway - Read my post here:

Yes that is correct.
So i put these values back to default (0) again and it works...but only with 6 thumbs (2 rows of 3) like the original theme was.
I found the solution, I increased the maxwidth and maxheight to 800/800 instead of 700/600 and now it displays 9 thumbs in 3 rows of 3, perfect !
And they don't overlap with the bottom text line when viewing single image and back to thumbs view.
I have another question: I cannot delete themes i copied. i tried to make copies of the original bluedragon to work on but now i'm trying to delete the copy (bluedragon2) and it says "Theme Bluedragon2 wasn't deleted"

question solved.
themes are deletable via ftp (weird it isn't possible via the http interface but anyway).
I've added files. all looks good but I have another problem, in the new gallery "Algerie" when i click a thumbnail it displays the image ok but when i click back to thumbs view (on the first button on the bottom nav bar), the gallery reloads itself
this doesn't happen on the other galleries, the thumbs view button works good.
any ideas?

Goto admin -> themes -> edit your theme -> settings.useswfaddress = FALSE - save! Check your gallery, and if the problem is gone, you know its related to the SWFAddress module - If so, it's because you have some unsupported characters either in your foldername or filename. I already know it goes haywire on characters @().
