 * I have Responsive Gallery set up on our blog, if two of us are on the blog one
   uploading photos or editing a gallery from the plugin interface and the other
   one of us tries to create a new page or article they are told that the resource
   is in use by the other user and if they take control they are transferred to 
   the gallery plugin. Is this normal?

 * Hi Gianmarcom,
 * This is WordPress feature, it’s not a plugin feature.
 * If there are Two or more users logged into same WordPress dashboard.
 * And try to edit same page/post then WordPress show that type message and confirm
   do want to take over control over this page/post for edit OR allow existing user
   to edit this.
 * Thanks

 * Hello gianmarcom,
    this happens when different users are logged in to same dashboard
   and working on the same page/post, it creates a dilemma for wordpress, so to 
   overcome this situation wordpress has made some guidelines. Thanks.
