So I just added the Vanity URL stuff to my site. It worked great!...

...'till I tried to add a fourth link to the code for another gallery. I typed in the exact stuff, just switched out the new vanity and URL, but it doesn't work.

Here is the code:

var vanityTable =
{
michaelpalmer : "http://candidartsphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/6298722_iH2f4#397114659_fAqKH",
melanielemerade : "http://candidartsphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/6174302_x8VHc#408268509_Nyysw",
services : "http://candidartsphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/6541504_qGTem",
alieseerikjacobson: "http://candidartsphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/6155043_j5G35#387731549_2VGqy"
};

The problem I'm having is with the "services" link. If you go to (www.candidartsphotography.com/services (http://www.candidartsphotography.com/services)) you can see that it's not working. But all the other ones do.

... .com/michaelpalmer, .com/alieseerikjacobson, .com/melanielemerade

Any help on this would be great as I want to add more to the vanity list than services and the other three and will be adding more in the future as I get more clients. Thanks!

Smugmug has reserved the word services so you can't have a vanity name of that. The problem is that http://candidartsphotography.smugmug.com/services/ is an actual web destination which is not your site so the vanity code doesn't get to run. You'll have to pick a different vanity name.

Gotchya. Damn. Hmmm... Well guess I can't do that then.

Any other words that I can't use? Is there like a short list or...?

Thanks a bunch for the help though!

Thanks a bunch for the help though! The only other one I know of is "help", but I'm sure there probably are others. You'll just have to make sure you try the ones you pick.

Gotchya. Ok thanks for the help. I love this feature. I'm glad I was introduced to it.

Another is "iphone"

Just for fun... I have a category on my site named "iphone" but the galleries in it cannot be viewed directly in a standard web browser, instead when trying to access it, the Smugmug iphone interface is displayed and you have to navigate through it to the iphone category to view the photos in the galleries.
