I just upgraded from 1.3.3 to the latest build on the site.

Here's my dilema.

I have 4 albums, and this happens on each album.

Once I click into an album, I should have three columns with 10 rows in regards to thumbs...
so my thumbs on each page should look like

x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x

This is how they looked in 1.3.3

Now it looks like this...
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x
x x x

First off, my thumbs are shifted more to the left when they were in 1.3.3. Secondly, there is a lot more space between each thumb.

This is causing my third column of thumbs to be shifted to the right, to the point that the user needs to scroll to right in order to view them. It's not a huge deal, but I can see many users not realizing the third column is there.

Any tips on how to cut down on the distance between the thumbs?

TIA!!!

1.3.3 WOW that is old I don't remember much of that...
This might help:
There is a cellspacing=7 on some of the tables in view_albums.php see if changing that to a lower number help.

Do you have some custom frames for the images? There is many new "built in" frames for images.
FAQ Gallery:c.38

Do a view source and see where the spacing is comming from.

PM me a your URL and I will have a look see if you don't want the rest of the forum to see you site.

With the introduction of "Skins" there was some changes. If you look in gallery.header.default , album.header.default , photo.header.default you will see <td nowrap class="head" align="<?php echo $left ?>"> then the title is <?php echo $gallery->album->fields["title"] ?> Note the nowrap. If you shorten your titles then this will fix your issue. If you don't want to change the length of the title remove the "nowrap" from this <td> tag. Then save the file as gallery.header , album.header ,photo.header This will allow you to have a backup.

If you need a longer description then I would suggest using the album summery that is located in album properties. To get there log in as admin, select the album you want to change. you will see a admin options pull down, select properties.
