Topic: Images Display as thumbs

I'm using the svBuilder and loving the easy and use of it but am running into a problem regarding the image size.  When I select the Publish tab> Save, the preview looks perfect. Once I upload it to the web or try previewing through Dreamweaver the images are about the same size as the thumbs. I thought it was an issue with embedding or using an iFrame but if I go to the direct gallery link the images are still turning up small.

Troubleshooting:
1)  I've looked at the gallery.xml, all URL's are associated with the proper folder.
2)  Compared and confirmed that the resized images with the thumbnail's are not the same size.
3)  Removed user defined Max width and height of images/Used default image size
4)  Removed all user defined gallery width/Used default "100%"
5)  Embeded using both iframe and flashVar (issue appears pre embeding though)

To make things easy here are my direct and embeded links for the website:

The other problem I am having is that I can not refresh the flash swf in Firefox. I have to check changes I've made using IE.

2)  Compared and confirmed that the resized images with the thumbnail's are not the same size.

In the gallery whose link your posted, the main images in your 'images' folder are the same size as the thumbnails in the 'thumbs' folder (75px x 75px).
Compare the first main image here: http://metagraphics.net/images/design/i … TBloom.jpg
... with the corresponding thumbnail here: http://metagraphics.net/images/design/t … TBloom.jpg
It looks like you may have either set the image size in svBuilder to 75px x 75px or uploaded the thumbnails into the 'images' folder.
You can set the image size in svBuilder by clicking the 'Change...' button in the 'Image Size' control panel on the 'Images' tab.

The other problem I am having is that I can not refresh the flash swf in Firefox.

Either clear your browser's cache after making any changes to your gallery or open the gallery's XML file directly in your browser, refresh the page and then go back to view the HTML page.

Yep, that was exactly what happened. I checked all images on the CPU side and didn't even think that it could have been on server side. Egg on my face, huh?

Thank you for the help here too. I reloaded the XML page but still had the same thing showing. I thought that the ctl+F5 was the cure all reload in Firefox till now. Dumped the cahe and now it works flawlessly.  Thank you again!
