Some skins use dynamic loading of thumbnail images, so not all thumbnails appear until you scroll down the page, and some include the ‘slide’ image in the index page. ![]() Many modern skins however do not use tables they use CSS positioning and set a maximum page width, with thumbnails wrapping as needed.

It may also need to be set if linking is not to originals but some originals are included within the album. For example the local album might work but if uploaded to the web the originals will not be accessible. If any originals are being used in the album and this option is not selected then broken links could appear unless the 'true' originals are accessible from the album’s location.
