I'm using version 1.4.3.
on my browse page (http://apricot13.org/index.php?x=browse)

I have the dropdown box and also a thumbnail of every single image I've posted! How do I stop it doing this? If I taka away the <thumbnails> tag it wont display the thumbnails for the category!

if this is fixed in the next version I might have to consider upgrading!

First, you should upgrade absolutely!
the version which you use is not secure and you should take care about your website!
So please upgrade, it is really simple and described in the readme-file for the upgrade!


after all these exlamationmarks:

which element do you want to get rid of: the dropdownbox or the thumbnails?

great! then I shall definitly be upgrading.

I want to get rid of the thumbnails, but if I get rid of the thumbnails tag then when you click the category in the dropdown no thumbnails show.

Is there a way to paginate the thumbs or something, because loading 300 thumbnails as soon as you click browse can't be healthy for a 56k connection!

yeh, I see it and it works with all the default templates, just not mine! I can't seem to work it out! i've set it to only show 20 thumbs and I've nicked all the tags from the light-archivepaged template!

I'm such an idiot! I was linking to <SITE_BROWSELINK> not <LINK_TO_PAGED_ARCHIVE>.

if you say this, we must not say it ;=)

but I am glad it is ok for you now, we germans have the saying:
