Feature Suggestion

It would be a convenience to have right- and left-scroll buttons added to the individual photos in the Gallery at the top of the MSW forum page. This way, one doesn't have to exit the photo currently being viewed to look at the next one in the series.

These arrows don't appear for me when I maximise the gallery images....so I can't navigate them - not sure why this is....I wonder if Terry is experiencing this same issue?

B.E.'s solution works and that's a plus.

 

However, the fact that the image folder's name is an active link was totally unknown to me and, obviously, to other members.

 

I still think it would be more useful and intuitive if the scroll arrows were active as soon as you enlarge a gallery image. Why not move this feature up one layer so the casual viewer can scroll through all the images that are in the Gallery ribbon?

 

Alternatively, include some kind of label or tool tip that alerts (new) users that you can scroll a particular album.

 

Or do both. Reserve the large, really high-resolution images for the folder view.

I'm sort of with you and what you mean, however, we don't write the software and are bound by any limitations.

I also did not find the arrows immediately, and for a few weeks was frustrated that I could view one image in a gallery, but not the whole gallery.  I didn't even realize you could get to the main album for a picture for a while either.  You have to hover your cursor over the popup text and find the unadorned text in the title that is the link to the gallery.  One of the current ones is just the word "Tom".  It would be nice if the entire text string "From the album: Tom (12 images)" were a link to the album instead.
