Re: [SM-USERS] Multiple images become unavailable after viewing first image - SOLVED

[John B. <jb...@te...>]

Just wanted to let everyone interested know that the problem was caused 
by register_globals. I have always had it enabled for compatibility 
purposes with older software, but I guess 1.4.5 was more upset about it 
than previous versions. I turned it off, and all is good. Thanks again 
to everyone for helping solve this issue.
