Slideshow, positioning

In slideshow, the top of portrait/vertical photos are cut off. This also happens in Firefox full screen mode.

Slideshow version (click "View as slideshow"): http://www.23hq.com/dena/search/display?mode=photos&search_key=17C6F85B6C4968FA56E4B

Also; is there a way to view a slideshow containing f.ex. the last 300 photos uploaded? I often want to run a slideshow with new photos, but more than just my 25 first on the frontpage :)

I would also like the ability to have more than one page of photos in a slideshow.

@dena: Slideshow with one image made me smile ;) I can't see anything being cut off of that photo, are you running on 800x600? ;)

You can view Albums as slideshow, might be the solution to not only viewing one page.

@Iko: I'm on a 1280x800 Macbook, but I have also tested it with higher resolution (on another system - with IE/Windows) and it was cut off here as well..

The album-view doesn't really solve my problem slideviewing latest photos, as these tend to end up in various, different albums, but thank you so much for the idea :)

Another suggestion: you might want to try photogroups, put all your photos in one photogroup and "View as slideshow" will show them all ...

Thank you, Iko. I have made a testgroup and put the last 3 months of photos in it. It works great :) The only downside is the maintenance-part, as I'd like some FIFO on the images, as I upload new ones.. with this method, I have to manually remove photos from the group, when they get too "old". But it works for now, so thank you :)

Still curious about the cut-off thing.. am I really the only one experiencing this? Would a screendump help in anyway?

Hey guys...

@dena: Great that you were able to solve the problem somewhat using photo groups; the reason that we only include 20 images in the slideshow of latest photos is that the logical alternative is to include everything -- and with some users having thousands of photos it just takes too long to load.

If you post a screenshot of the cut-off problem I will take a look at it.

Thank you and yes, I see the problem with large collections photos in slideshows :)

Here's a screeny of the positioning-thing: http://www.23hq.com/dena/photo/6824820/original

@dena: Is the photo actually being cut off, or is it just a scrolling issues on the right (that's the case for me when I try to reproduce).
