When I upgraded to Coppermine 1.5.4 (have had no time yet to apply the most recent update) I activated the transparent overlay function, which I love.
However, I've had some visitors complain that for them the actual image - which is in JPG - doesn't show anymore. What can I tell them? Is this browser related? Should they switch browsers? I myself don't get this problem on either IE 7 or the current Firefox.
Thank you :)

Ask them for as many details as they could provide (this is also a list for possible culprits):
- Operating system
- Browser (exact version!)
- Browser plug-ins
- Client-sided third-party software that interferes with display of internet pages (usually internet security suites from anti-virus companies)
- Internet connection method (cable/DSL/LAN)
- Proxy usage (yes, no, don't know)
Additionally, ask for a deep link to the page that they're having issues with.

The built in mechanism creates a table instead of a picture and places the actual image in a cell background and a transparent GIF of the same size in the foreground. That's one way to realize a transparent overlay.
There's another way that places a transparent gif of the same size next to the image and moves it to the left via CSS so it covers the original pic. Maybe it helps. See here (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,62875.msg312264.html#msg312264), section 'Workaround for transparent overlay'.
- Will only work if you don't have the sections <<<theme_html_picture>>> and <<<theme_display_fullsize_pic>>> in your theme.php yet.
- Will probably not work together with all plugins, for example the annotation plugin. So please test carefully.
