 * Hi. I would like to slow down the speed of the slideshow (time between one picture
   and another)
    Is it possible?
 * thanks

 * Select the speed you want in **Photo ALbums -> Settings** admin page **Table 
   IV-B5**: _Timeout_
    You can also change the animation speed if you like in Table
   IV-B6

 * Thanks Jacob.
    Is it also possible to apply a different timeout with a shortcode
   in a single page?

 * If your shortcode is something like
 *     ```
       [wppa type="slide" album="19"][/wppa]
       ```
   
 * ( or maybe `type="slideonly"` or `type="slideonlyf"` ) and it is the first wppa
   shortcode on the page, use the text editor (not the visual) and add a scriptline
   as follows:
 *     ```
       [wppa type="slide" album="19"][/wppa]
       <script type="text/javascript">_wppaTimeOut[1]=1000;</script>
       ```
   
 * This sets the slideshow timeout for the first shorcode ( _wppaTimeOut[1] ) to
   1000 milliseconds.
    Second shortcode 1500 ms would be:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">_wppaTimeOut[2]=1500;</script>
       ```
   
 * Important: the script must be placed AFTER the shortcode, **and this will only
   work on a page** (a post is not always the first on a page) **with a slideshow
   shortcode**. If you display thumbnails that link to slideshow, it will only work
   when using ajax is switched off (not recommended)

 * It is a good idea to add this feature as a shortccode argument. I will do that
   in the next version (6.6.31). From that version onward you can do (e.g.):
    `[
   wppa type="slide" album="19" timeout="2500"][/wppa]` for 2500 millisec, `[wppa
   type="slide" album="19" timeout="random"][/wppa]` for random,
