Can anyone post some instructions on how to expand the number of thumbnails shown on each page from the default 3 columns wide, to more? I would like to fit more thumbs on each page, but dont necessarily want the page getting any longer.

Thanks in advance!

Use smaller thumbs, remove blocks form the sidebar, or change the with of the theme you are using.
If you are using the wind theme it has a fixed width.

I have no blocks in the sidebar at all. I have no idea how to change the width of the theme I am using. I am using the gallery default theme on gallery3, and I do not see anywhere in the settings I can change the width.

I can not use smaller thumbs, as I am getting complaints as it is that it is hard to see them. That and so far I have over 26,000 images in the gallery, and rebuilding thumbs would take days.

change:
themes/wind/views/page.html.php

    <div id="doc4" class="yui-t5 gView">

to:

    <div id="doc3" class="yui-t5 gView">

That will give you 100% page width.
Read up on grids:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/grids/grids-doc.html for other widths.

If he was using the latest development release, then the class will be 'g-View' instead of 'gView'.

mamouneyya,
good catch. I really need to get a new keyboard. This one has way too much typos. :-)

That somewhat changed the problem.... The page now shows up 100% width, but all the thumbs are still the same width... 3 columns of thumbs, and they are all left justified.

Thanks for all the help!!

Now you need to edit the css for the container:
find in /css/screen.css

#g-content {
  padding-left: 20px;
  position: relative;
  width: 696px;
}

and adjust the width to say 100% or remove it and test.
