You have a javavscript error in your pages that could be causing a problem for you.

This code in your footer is part of the old slideshow and should be removed:

<script type="text/javascript">
/* required slideshow variables */
slideshowContainerId = "bioBox";
slideshowUrl = "http://nickname.smugmug.com/gallery/XXXXXXX";


/* optional slideshow variables */
/* see properties section */
slideHeight="400";
slideWidth="640";

if (YD.hasClass(document.body,'homepage') &&
!YD.hasClass(document.body,'galleries')) {
loadSlideshow ();
}
</script>

What do you mean does not do "random"?

You have it configured to draw images from one gallery.

If you don't want the Smugmug logo on your slideshow, then change this line:

oParams.splash = "http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png";

to either point to a different image or delete the line entirely.

Ok..doing this now. What I meant by random is I thought the gallery I point it too it would randomly show the different photos in there instead of always just whoing them in order. I'm probably totally wrong about that...

I'm probably totally wrong about that... I am not aware of an option to allow for random display order. A google search shows that it's been asked for in the feature request thread.

The new flash show does not have a random setting. It does have a random
start though that starts anyway in the gallery and runs from there.

I'd recommend switching to the latest slideshow version here (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/3624147).
Then see this page (http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow) for more settings.

I also just changed my logo to splash up before the slideshow starts but it only goes up for about a second and then its real "jerky" going off. Anyway to prolong my logo to stay on for an extra second or so or make it smoother? Maybe this would be with the new slideshow seetings also....not sure.
