Cathy, I did not phrase my reply clearly to Brian. I was referring to his statement that you MUST have a preferred picture. Sorry I didn't state this well.
I did reference that help topic but I didn't know that a preferred picture was mandatory if there were any pictures in the Media Gallery. Upon rereading the topic I did not see that mentioned, although upon reflection it kind of makes sense. When I don't see something specifically mentioned in help I don't always intuitively make the connection that it exists. If a preferred setting were not mandatory you could have none of the pictures for an individual set as preferred then it wouldn't be necessary to mess with the Customize options which in themselves cause confusion at times.
