I am able to upload galleries and display them on a page. My preference is to use the prettyPhoto type, but the slideshow feature no longer automatically works.
You can see an example of the gallery page I have up. http://marinavillageharbor.com/gallery.htmlPlease take note that when you scroll over the top row of photos, something very odd happens to the alignment of the bottom row (they shift and slide around as you scroll). (see attached photo)
I tried looking at the support page and get more information on passing the parameters directly within the (% gallery=my-gallery %) call, but could not find an example on the format for doing this.
I've tried using the administrative features for the gallery by setting the checkbox to autostart and modifying other aspects of the gallery call. When I look at the source for the populated website, I can see the correct gallery type and the parameters appear to be set correctly. However, still no slideshow.
If you have problems like this, you should e.g. use Firefox and install the Web Developer plugin or use something similar. If you use the Web Developer plugin and display its toolbar, you immediately see that there is a javascript error (rightmost icon is red instead of green).
Clicking on it will tell you that "... autocomplete is not a function...". Looking at the source code of the page you will see that a ".../plugins/i18n_search/js/jquery.autocomplete.min.js" is included. Clicking on the link, i.e. loading it, will give a 403 Forbidden error. This probably means that you didn't copy the .htaccess files in the plugin's subdirectories to your server.
Correct this problem and the gallery should work.
As for the bouncing thumbnails: I don't see this in Firefox, but normally it means that your images have different heights and/or your CSS styles change width or height of the thumbnail divs on mouseover (:hover).
Make sure that you specify a height for the maximum thumbnail height in your gallery and check your CSS.
