Startvolume value doesn't affect actual volume

Hi,
Though I change the 'startvolume' value in config to, for example, 75 or 5, it remains at 65 at start. This is on multiple browsers, after cookies have been deleted, etc. I'm pretty sure it used to work properly...

This is in fact the Flash sharedObject() function. It works the same as cookies, but you can't delete it with your browser "delete cookies". First time anyone visits the gallery, it will set volume based on "startvolume" setting... However, 2nd time the gallery is visited, the gallery remember last volume and playstatus.

This means the gallery will start at the volume you had last time in your gallery, disregardless of the startvolume setting. However, you can rest assured any 'other' visitors will get get the volume at your set startvolume the first time they visit the gallery.
