Hello,

In my gallery album, I want to have thumbnail links in the top album that show each sub-album -- but I don't want to have any images in the top album. Basically, I want the top album to be a table-of-contents for the sub-albums. When I do this, none of the thumbnails for the sub-albums show up in the top album.

This is concerning because if I sent the link of my site to a family member, I have to give additional instructions to click the little wrench, open up the sidebar, and click the sub-album name. If the thumbnail links were at the top level I could just send the main URL for the gallery site and everyone could navigate to the albums on their own.

I'm using the slider theme.

* click the wrench on the lower left
* click the name of the sub-album to see the pictures

Any thoughts?
