Hello, everyone!
There was small update a few days ago that has been unnoticed so lets correct this terrible situation.
Step by step we're replacing the parts of the code that were using Flash player, probably you have already noticed the changes in File manager on both platforms (Ning 2.0 and Ning 3.0). Recently the slideshows have been updated and they aren't using flash any longer. What is it all about? Right now, the slideshow would be working even if your site would be opened on phone (I mean the web version of it) also as Adobe stopped updating the Flash player sooner or later it would stop working completely so it's better to be prepared. Unfortunately, it's still in beta and we have spotted already spotted one bug. All the pictures are aligned to the top line of the container where the photos are posted, which means if the photos have the different size the dimensions of the container would be determined by the biggest picture in the list, so some small pictures could have empty white space after them.
But as it's basically the issue with styles you can just add the following code to the Custome CSS and the pictures in the slideshow would be displayed in the middle of the container, which would have the way better look.
.slick-track { display: flex!important; justify-content: center; align-items: center;/* Safari */ display: -webkit-flex!important; -webkit-justify-content:center; -webkit-align-items: center; }
The code from above is just the temporary solution, it won't be necessary to use it after our tech team would release the fix for this.
Best wishes,
The Ning Team.
P.S. Please note that the fix from above is related to the slideshows on Ning 2.0 only

Hi. Do we add that to Ning 2.0 sites as well??
Hi, Traddie!
It's only for 2.0 and only if you have slideshows on your page.
Best regards,
Ning team.
Nice one! Slideshows on main page is still top aligned after css. Will be great to see photo uploader flash free.
Looks like the flash uploader is not working in safari 11...
Hi, Matt!
Well, the code is definitely working. Here is the screenshot from my test network.
Also, I have checked and all the CSS properties are supported by the latest versions of the popular browsers for sure.
There could be several reasons why it's not working, the file with styles has been loaded from your cache by the browser, you don't have the latest version of your browser. Also, it's possible that the code simply hasn't been saved in the design studio for some reason. Also if you are using some custom code already I could rewrite this code.
Best regards,
Ning Team.
Yup working now, thanks.
ugh...where do I fine the CSS? My members love the slide show.
For me (old Ning 2) I go to my admin section and click "Appearance" and then the "Advanced" tab. I copy/paste the provided code at the bottom of the text that is already in the window.
Great :-)
Do I remember correctly with the flash slideshow that when you clicked on the image it would go to that image page?
