Hi, Suggestion to improve the usability of gallery: put and outer glow around album covers or a frame that sets it off as not being a single picture. There needs to be a bold difference to indicate this is an ALBUM and that clicking on it will show more pictures.

Right now the only way to know if you are looking at a single picture or that it an album is by reading the title. For me, an average person, it is not a big enough difference.

It took me a while to figure out why the option to "add item" wasn't available for an album I created some time ago. I couldn't put pics in it back when I made it either.

Another reference for the need to have a difference is when I have friends look at pictures they say I can only see one pic from the event.

You can select differentiating frames for albums and pictures if you want.

Knowing there was an option made me look harder. Thanks for the lead. For others here is where you can make frames so the albums show up as different from single pictures. There are samples to view too, great.

In dropdown under album image or in left colum, click 'edit album', choose 'theme' tab, scrole down to 'album frame'.
