Please don't post your queries 3 times - once is enough. I've removed the other threads with the same query.

That kind of attitude isn't going to get much help at all.

Start with undoing all of your changes or starting over. There is at least a typo (or many more) in the changes you've made.

See this page on editing template files: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Editing_Templates

I'd take a look at installing the color pack plugin and checking out the colorpacks that come with it as well as these user contributed ones:

Nope, you haven't done anything with my previous suggestions so it doesn't look like you are stuck with those. Start there. Undo your changes, try the colorpack plugin.

Okay, I will... I was just thinking something so simple would not fix it, but obviously I am not the genius, but wise guy above, alecmyers is :)

I will try what you told me :)

Thanks!

Thanks. But why is it that the only people who notice are the unimportant ones?

I don't know, I can't see your theme. I can see that there is at least one open tag:

A couple things.

I installed and switched you to the Floatrix theme for now.

Now that I can see a little better. To undo your changes, download your changes so you have them saved. Then delete the Matrix theme and reinstall it from Site Admin > Plugins

You can delete it from there, then you can re-download it from Site Admin > Plugins > Get More Plugins (tab) Then you can set your theme back to Matrix and customize it again. There's probably a syntax error in there you've made, but digging through that is not what I have time for.

I'd strongly suggest you upgrade Gallery, the version you are running is quite old and has known security issues with it.

alecmyers is very smart and has contributed greatly to this community. As a general rule of thumb you should never cross post requests when you visit forums, it wastes support resources. We do this, unpaid and on a volunteer basis with what little free time we have. Act like an adult and you'll get treated like one and get the help you need.

There is no need to "yell" (put words in caps) or to put pleas of help into the subject line. Make your subject reflect your problem or question. I almost completely skipped over your post in the first place with the "It LOOKS like CRAP" comment. I can only guess about alecmeyers as I only know him from his posts, but that sort of beginning always gets on my wrong side.

Spell out exactly what you've done to get where you're at with your situation and what your issue is and you'll get help. "I need help" requests with little to no information have a high potential of getting no attention.

alecmyers was right in his actions and I see absolutely nothing wrong with his posts.
