    It baffles me why the move from an older platform to a newer platform would lose functionality like this.  Not having these kinds of image viewing options on a modern website is questionable and puzzling.  We have some fantastic imagery that we could be using in our news interest articles that is just going to waste in a smaller format.  Provide the option to click on an image in a news article and view it full resolution.

    Dear Jake,

    I am very heartened by your message. When WH move off the Podium Platform,
    My gallery lost the vital slide show functionality and that rendered the
    gallery's website less than professional. We are approaching a year now
    that i have gone without the beautiful visual way for our website visitors
    to navigate our website in an intuitive way. I've tried creating links to
    our slide shows which is less them optimum and have recently tried to put
    another kind of slide show in, which is where i am at, at the present time.
    BUT, it is very clunky and buggy and quite problematic.

    For me, if i could be selfish for a moment, i would love for this change to
    occur before the school year starts in early september. I am hoping that my
    suggestion would be something useful to ALL WH users! I am hoping that
    there is wisdom in my request and that it can be made a priority.

    Thank you for your part in helping with the evolution of this kind of
    functionality, and thank you for your consideration!

    Thanks for sharing your ideas, Todd! This type of functionality could be very useful. I've heard others request it too. I'll talk to the product team about this and see if there are any plans in the current roadmap.

    News items should also be able to attach multiple slide shows, multiple movies, single photos and other media as needed.

    After the Podium upgrade, we lost the capability to have zoom photos in the Lightbox. This problematic for any news item that opens into more than one level. News items, no matter what level, should have the capability of being able to attach a slide show.
