The aversion to Flash-based sites comes from: 1) poor design Welcome to the web where poor design is often the name of the game. The LUG's web album is also a case of poor design in many small details. 2) Flash has control As in if it were an AJAX application you'd have more? Ever looked at the "compiled" code that goes into something like gmail or other AJAX application? Do you REALLY look at Javascript and try to figure out what the heck it's doing? I don't think so. 3) Can't go to a particular page or image That's the designer's choice and I understand this argument. 4) Security Sorry, I just don't relate to the cookie issue. I just don't mind leaving footprints in the snow. Compared to all the tracking the US Gvt can do now who really believes they aren't being tracked? 5) Unsupported OS Your choice, for the most part. 6) Not open source Religion I'm not terribly sympathetic to the Flash-bashers but it's a matter of choice. I'm sure you could use the HTML version of Lightroom's web pages with no appreciable difference. I know I sure don't see much to indicate one way or the next. Take what you want. I'll enjoy your images however you choose to post them. Adam
