Slideshow picture selection

The slideshow is a great PRO feature, but I think people would prefer to have one that is more selectable in which photos to include..

Currently, the slideshow begins with the latest shot and continues on until stopped; if a person wants to start where he left off, it is impossible. The slideshow goes right back to the beginning.

A feature such as that innovation would improve the useability of your product and would require a slight code modification, nothing drastic. It would certainly keep me in the 'PRO' category and probably gain you more paying members.

You can select "random" which then gives a greater variety of one's collection.

However, the 'random' selection does not allow user selection of photos to see in a slideshow...it would be nice, I think, if the user were given some control...including manual repositioning of images.

For the price we PROs pay, I think it within reason...what say, Admin??? Admin???

Gonna sound like a broken record here but........... On Flickr you can have sets and those sets can be re-ordered how you like AND slideshow is based on your WHOLE photostream OR your individual sets. And it's half the cost for pro for the year (don't have to be pro to have sets though).

That's about the only way you are going to get this dream. (it'll be without music though as I don't think that's an option there)

OK we cannot define in random but that is half the fun as the selection takes one back to photos one may have forgotten oneself and evokes memories.

Personally I would rather see Admin if there is still such a thing here, putting their effort into mending the features that have long been broken... like picture of the month and competitions.
But I and many others here would happily settle for just some or any response from those who so readily take our money... without offering the service we pay for!
