Photo Album Intro Thumb Nail - Photo Album Sort Order

[Aintso]

Here is one for you>>>

I have searched the site and am probably just missing it. I would like to manually sort the order of the photos in my photo album. I see the link that allows users to do that, but when I click it, it says I have auto sort enabled and I have to turn that off. It gives me a link called change, I follow to the photo album prefs page. I cannot see where to make that change.

What I am really trying to accomplish is to change the thumbnail that appears on my photo album when users click the Photo Album Link. Currently, (bad pun) my shows the battery switch, and while that is interesting to some of us, it is not the one I want as the first link to the photo album.

Thanks, and thank you for all the work you put in on the site. It is a great resource and would not be possible without your administration.

Change the names of the photos. I had the same problem with my three photos. I numbered them, so the first one was named "1. Poppy." and the next one was prefixed by a 2. Etc. To do this I changed the name of the photo on my PC, deleted the picture on the Tugnuts site and then posted the same picture but with its different name.

and... don't forget that the LAST photo is the one that appears as the album picture. So depending on how many pictures you plan to have in the album, you may want to name the one you want to be the cover picture something like 150 ZZZ.

just looked at your album...did you ever get your questions about the stuffing box, or Guest selector switch/black box answered?
I have an '05 R-21 so my electrical setup is a bit different...I don't know what the black box is (I have a fuse block there) but it looks like an isolator, if it's a charger it'll have an AC power cord.
I've just moved the fuel tank to the stern, and moved the batteries to where the fuel tank was, it's now much easier to keep an eye on the stuffing box. By the way, in the photo it looks like your's may be almost "bottomed out" and might need to be re-packed soon.

Changing the "highlighted" thumbnail is pretty straight forward. Make sure you're logged in, then navigate to the point where you're inside the album for which you want to make the change.

The "bread crumb" navigation (running between the blue bars) will look like this:

Gallery >> Tugnuts Owner Albums >> your login >> your album name

You should see a pull down menu below each picture which says <<item actions>>

Pull down (click on) the menu and select: Make Highlight

That should do it. No need to reorder.
