Can anyone tell my why the pictures in my Orbit slider aren't showing correctly? They were originally but aren't any longer. I have 3 different sliders on different pages and they've all stopped working. Here is an example from the site in progress: http://fireflyds.coffeecup.com/bathrooms.html

Have you given the different slider each a unique ID?
If this does not apply, it would be better if you would submit your project file. Pop in your drop box, and let us have the URL, then someone here will take a look.

I'm looking into it now. The problem is obviously not the slider ID. Not sure yet, but it strikes me that most of your images are enormous (hard on portable devices) without any other styling than width 100%. I advice you to keep one size (one for portrait and one for landscape oriented), and actually reduce the dimensions of the images to that size in a picture editing programme.

One other thing that I have seen in other projects is that if the images are buried in sub-sub folders, it can cause problems. Don't know yet if that applies here, though.

I couldn't find out what caused the problem, so I created an Orbit slider that you can save as a component. Here the images are in the folder 'images', and I think it is better to have just one level of folders. If you want to separate them according to rooms or whatever, just make folders 'bath', 'kitchen' or similar, just on the first level.

I have not given this slider an ID, that will be up to you what you call it. You probably don't want exactly these images in one and the same slider either. ;)
