I have recently done something to my code on my site - not sure what but a couple of strange things have been heppening.
The one that I am trying to fix at present is that when I view in Slideshow, the captions are tiny - almost not there - even looks smaller than font="1"
Example here - http://pjspics.smugmug.com/gallery/6615120_2sR5U#454903099_UoPdw
.. and click on Slideshow - you have to look hard to see the captions at the bottom.
I would guess that this size is being picked up from somewhere, but not being a wizz on the old HTML and CSS, I dont know where.

UPDATE - this only happens when I change the font on the captions for the photos in that gallery.
If I leave as default, the text size is correct on the Slideshow.
I am using <font size="2" color="cyan"> etc - it doesnt seem to matter what size font I use it still causes the captions on the Slideshow to be tiny.

Hi,

Has anyone had a look at this problem that I am having.
Another thought is to see if there is a way of removing the captions when viewing a Slideshow.
Some of my captions are quite long and when the text was originally the right size some of the text was not visible in the slideshow.
So basically I think it would be better for me to remove the captions all together if possible and not have this as an option.
If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
Much appreciated :thumb

It was the fact that I had used html to change the font and colour on my captions in the Galleries on each photograph - not sure why this would cause them to be so small, but since changing them globally in CSS its back to normal.
