 * Jacob,
    I don’t know if this is a recent thing, but there seems to be a default
   in Settings where I have to click to reveal settings, and also in creating a 
   new album. For the album creation, I thought my earlier re-install of the plugin
   had broken something as when I created a new album, I was faced with a blank 
   page, which led me to think it was still broken! However, I found when I went
   back to edit it, the default seems to be to hide it, which seems counter intuitive.
   Can I set this and the settings pages to be automatically visible?

 * The subtables in the settings page clearly indicate to click the banner for toggling
   on/off

 * The new album and photo admin page layout is still under development, i will 
   take your remark to this in mind during finalising this.
    Remarks are always 
   welcome.

 * Thanks Jacob,
 * I think the collapsed Album creation screen could be somewhat confusing for a
   new user. It certainly caught me out, and I’ve been creating albums monthly for
   a few years now.
    I think it coincided with my previous post where you recommended
   that I re-installed the plugin and made me think something had been broken despite
   your assurances.
