And I'd mind it much less if it didnt _move_ and that they suddenly started putting the ads on without telling us . > Any site that >attracts viewers displays ads. > hmmmm... well, I guess my smugmug page doesn't attract viewers then. If one is paying for a page/domain one should be able to exist on the web advertising only one's own work.... Paul, I did write Josh that I had no plans to abandon photo.net but there were things I felt needed improvement and he was very open to what I was saying. .. I mentioned that while one could rearrange galleries/folders one couldn't rearrance the thumbnails in them and that the last image loaded went in the front of the gallery and he said he agreed with me 100% and he didn't know why it was taking so long to get that feature in and he was working on it.
