Well, It's compatible with IE and Mozilla. I have seen a couple of issues when viewing from a MAC, but they are small.

Also getting some FHG's out to the owners of tgps would help (again affiliate program).

Is this a gallery that is hosteed on my server, with a link from their page so that surfers can see a few free pictures? If so, this is one of the things I think adult sites do that is
crazy!!! I can understand a link that brings a person to your tour pages, but giving out free samples...bad idea. In a brick and morter business, it's fantastic. The person shopping get's a little taste, then maybe they buy. To get a taste from another vendor they have to get in their car, drive across the street and go inside another store.
But in the internet world, the shopper get's a little taste, then clicks again and gets a little taste, and clicks again to get another taste from someone else. Why buy when I can get so many free tastes??? It's like my college roomate at Sam's club on a Sunday...he just grazed the store for an hour and then he had no need to buy anything because he was full!!!
Now, I see where this helps the TGP owner, because they get more hits because they have more freebies to give away. As a general rule, I think everyone would be better off if they stopped doing this practice all together. If it all dried up at once, I think sales would increase, becasue it would be harder to get the free stuff. But I suppose the cat is out of the bag and will never be put back in.
This was similar to something I saw often in the auto parts biz. Since it was online, every now and then a small guy would come along, most likely a gearhead that wanted to get his car parts cheaper for his racing habit, and he would start up a little site selling parts
WAAAYYYYY cheaper than any serious vendor. And our customers would call and want us to match the price. Usuall we did, sometimes we told them to order over there, because we didn't need the headaches on a $150 purchase to make $5 in profit. But, in time, that guy would learn that he couldn;t stay in business because he was too cheap. He learned that he was spending too much time to make that $5, and they would usually fade away. Since we were bigger we were able to just weather the storm, so to speak.
Anyway, I'm rambling.
