Adding a simple slide show feature has always been near the very top of our “to-do” list for ParentShack. Well tonight, we’re happy to slide it over to the “to-done” pile.

At the top of any image, from your thumbnail page or under the main image on your home page, click the “Start slide show” link and a slide show with all the images in that album will automatically start playing. Click anywhere in the window (besides the control bar) to close the slide show and return to the ParentShack page that you were on.

A slide show started from your home page shows all of your site’s images in a random order. A slide show started from a photo or thumbnail page shows only the images in that album and in the order that they appear in that album.

The slide show automatically loops from the last photo in the album back to the first, so you can run it in full screen mode (by hitting F11 on most browsers), sit back and enjoy all the photos while you drink your coffee.

OK, back onto Twitter sharing now…
