I checked the slideshow feature and after a good 3 hours of breaking the keyboard and my vision, I realized that not more than one slideshow could be added..
I read about an exclude feature there- I am not sure if thats what I am looking for. I am a newbie and want to add a few slides in the same post or the essence of the post would be lost..
And yes- Google Chrome is perfect..
Thank you..

Slideshow is an awesome feature, I use it for nearly all my images but I'm having the same problem as @marpan and the many others above. I find that Google Chrome works best but I'm pretty sure a lot of my viewers use other browsers too.

Looking forward to the fix from the WP people ;-D

Google Chrome and Safari (Mac)

I am using Firefox 3.6.3 and it has never worked correctly.

I get the images loaded at the very top of the post/page. Or it loads correctly (every once in a while), but will only show 1-2 images before flaking out!

*Other times I have got it to work by double-clicking on the right arrow only?!

To me it just seems too buggy and or unreliable to post -when it works it's pretty cool, but not worth the headache (and not-to-mention the bad blow to your sites rep) when it does not work properly.

Misc.

When I initially inserted (39 .jpg images) without having saved the post as a draft then it really flaked. Then I read somewhere on this forum that perhaps you have to save the post/draft FIRST and then attach the pics.

I did that and it did seemed to do OK and so then I hit "preview" and it only worked and loaded correctly about 1 out of 10 in Firefox.

When I did strike gold (well I thought ;) by renaming ALL of the .jpg's and re-arranging their order, then I immediately POSTED the article and made it "live"...only to be embarrassed when the 2 photographers work I was trying to "show-off" and or promote in said post did not work and I promptly received confused e-mails from said photographers.

I am wondering if it has something to do with
1. image file size
2.image dimensions
3. file name(s)
4. qty. of images

So once again, everyone please state your browser and it's behavior so we can decide if we need to make the slide show into Photo Galleries temp.

Oh I almost forgot: I am using Chaos Theory theme too.

Take care everyone, and good luck!

I've read this whole thread and see the problem with images appearing in the header on the home page is quite frequent. I'm using Safari and the same issue arises very often. Any news on that? I'm not sure whether I should remove the slideshows for now... I don't mind refreshing the page, but many of my views aren't exactly computer savvy and may not think of doing that. Suggestions are welcome.

I just used the slideshow feature for the first time today, and I am thinking of removing both of them because of the header/overlap problem. Any progress on a solution on this?

[slideshow frame=rounded framecolor=transparent duration=4]

[slideshow frame=pointed framecolor=blue captions=off]

More than a few things on WordPress.com will not work with Opera Mini due to the method by which it renders pages.
