Those buttons are in the breadcrumb, and you hid it with this CSS:
#breadcrumb {
display: none;
}
You can get them back when you're logged in by changing that CSS to
.notLoggedIn #breadcrumb {
display: none;
}
I would argue that you're not doing your viewers any favors by hiding the breadcrumb since you haven't bothered to give them any indication of what gallery they are looking at. The breadcrumb at least gives them a hint since it shows the gallery name.

If you're not going to show the breadcrumb you should at least show a gallery name in the description. I highly recommend that you take a look at this thread - Are you really sure you want to hide the breadcrumb? Think of your viewers! (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=111484)

Agree with Denise...you are also hiding your slide-show button by using the "#breadcrumb" rule which you could change to this:


.notLoggedIn #breadCrumbTrail {display:none;}


And then your breadcrumbs will be gone and your slideshow button will appear :thumb.

Okay, I tried this and I love the outcome! HOWEVER, is there a way to add a page title in the discription that is a different size and color than the rest of the text in the description? I am using the DARK SAND theme on my sessions/pricing pages which allowed the breadcrumb to be written as JaeSen>Information (small) and then the gallery title "SESSIONS" was very large. I liked that, but hated the JaeSen>Information part. Also hated the breadcrumbs in other parts of my website. By hiding them all it looks great, but I agree I need SOMETHING to tell my visitors what page they are currently viewing! Any suggestions?:dunno

I do know how to put different banners for each category (that might be helpful), but is there a way to do that for each GALLERY???? If so, that would be an ideal solution to my problem. If I put a banner for the Portfolio Gallery that says Portfolio, that doesn't help to tell whether they are in the SENIORS, WEDDINGS, etc. gallery. If I could put a banner on each one that said SENIORS, WEDDINGS, etc. that would be helpful. Do you know how I could accomplish that?

Speaking of banners...I have a drop down nav bar that I made (LOVE IT), but cannot get it to be ABOVE my banner. I tried replacing the order in my CSS to put the nav bar first and then the banner, but that didn't work. Do you know how I get their locations switched??

Sorry so many questions, but I am near the end of my customization and then it is a matter of actually uploading photos and USING IT!! I can't wait!

I KEPT THINKING ABOUT THIS MORE AND CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO MY OWN PROBLEM!! :barb I figured out how to make banners for each of my categories and DIFFERENT ones for my galleries. This way I CAN hide the breadcrumbs and it looks soooooo much nicer. People still know where they are and can use my drop down nav bar to get around my site. That way they can't get to places I really don't want them to be. It works great. I still have a ton of editing to do to get ALL my galleries working, and finally get to work posted my pics, but all in all it is amazing and I am so proud of myself! :ivar THANKS SMUGMUG!! If you'd like to check out what I have so far, please give me a critique...of course keep in mind it is a HUGE work in progress and I am still working out any bugs! www.jaesenphotography.com (http://www.jaesenphotography.com)
