I am having a problem with gallery in that the photos display ok but some of the slideshows show a blank screen when initiated. Of the 4 galleries I have, 2 display ok but 2 have this problem. How can this be? I've checked all the settings :( Any advice will be much appreciated

It's OK Dave I have it sorted out now. I found a thread on this forum that made me think "aha!". It was actually due to me using ampersands in the title. Thank you anyway.

OK, in case anyone else has this problem let me explain. An ampersand is a "&" sign and shouldn't be used in the title. Just write "and" instead. Hopefully this will save you some frustration!!

Ah yes! Thanks for your help Dave. I see the bug is highlighted there. Apparantly commas "," also give a problem. I somehow missed that.
