I am having an issue with the drop down menu, it is unresponsive.
If I click on user galleries, then choose a gallery, the thumbnails open up correctly. If I am looking through the images in this gallery page by page and want to return to the thumbnails there is no 'back' option unless I happen to move my cursor to the bottom of the menu for the thumbs to pop up.
Without realising this was at the bottom, instead I tried to click on the menu item again. However, this does not reopen the thumbnail page, but stays on the existing image page. Is this a bug?
Is it possible to have 'return to main page' as a fixed option?

Re: return to main (same) page menu unresponsive
You are speaking about your website as if I am looking at it ... Perhaps include the link?
Click on "user galleries"? Where are you now? On our www.photo.gallery presentation website or something? If you are looking through images in the Imagevue Gallery image-by-image, there is an obvious "close" button on top right of each image. Clicking this button closes the image and returns to thumbnails.yesmaybe wrote:If I click on user galleries, then choose a gallery, the thumbnails open up correctly.

Yes you can also return to thumbnails by clicking that button in the main controls. If you click the menu item of the same gallery you are currently visiting, it will not remove and then re-open the page because you are already there. That would be counter-productive.yesmaybe wrote:Without realising this was at the bottom, instead I tried to click on the menu item again.

What do you mean "as a fixed option"? You mean the [x]close button and the thumbnails button is not sufficient you want to add TEXT also? You can make the close button bigger.yesmaybe wrote:Is it possible to have 'return to main page' as a fixed option?

I didn't see that cross. My mouse was on the left side of the screen by the menu. When you know it's there it's obvious, when users (or I) am new to the layout, it is not so intuitive.mjau-mjau wrote:Click on "user galleries"? Where are you now?

Now I found the cross I see that the images open as a popup within the gallery main page. I still think clicking on the main link would be a good way to return to the thumbnails.mjau-mjau wrote:Yes you can also return to thumbnails by clicking that button in the main controls.

No I meant the cross as permamently there, I will look into the 'autohide' options some more. And maybe I need to change the theme. I had a quick look through the different themes and they all seem to use the same menu and button options, is that right? Or does a certain theme have different operability as well?mjau-mjau wrote:What do you mean "as a fixed option"?

Thanks for the detailed reply.
Re: return to main (same) page menu unresponsive
Fair point. It will work like this in a future version.yesmaybe wrote:I still think clicking on the main link would be a good way to return to the thumbnails.
Themes should probably be called 'skins' as they dont generally change the layout, but primarily colors and fonts. Some interface layout options are available in settings, although they do not generally change how the gallery looks.yesmaybe wrote:And maybe I need to change the theme.

Re: return to main (same) page menu unresponsive
thanks for the support, it really helps do have these answers (even if I can't achieve what I hope) when trying to get to grips with the different options and settings.
