Those nice peeps over at Zoto have fixed the album-viewing / slideshow-playing problem. Their support team are to be commended for their quick response and exemplary communication.
So, now I'm left with a straight choice... stay with the html slideshows, or convert them to Flash.
Any preference, folks?

Flash is the work of the devil, and it can't get any better now that Adobe have got their hands on it. I have the FlashBlock plugin installed, for very good reasons.
And those reasons are... ???
Mainly to cut down the amount of advertising crap that so many sites are laden with, so that the sites load a lot faster. Every Flash item is replaced by a 'Play' icon so I can still play it if I want to.
It's one aspect of my private war on in-yer-face commercialism on the internet, the other more effective part is populating my Hosts file with known ad servers so that the ads are never retrieved at all.
