When viewing a picture tour, you'll see a new link 'Slideshow', which when clicked on, after a few seconds should start a nice, click-free viewing experience of all the pictures within that tour.
To test one out, click the following link, then click 'Slideshow' which can be found just above the picture - http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Cumbria/Grasmere/pictures.

There are a few improvements planned for the slideshows, such as a 'pause' function when hovering your mouse over a picture and so on, but for now we just want to make sure it works for everyone. Please report bugs and post any feedback here. Many thanks for your input.

*****Please note*****
We are aware that some of the larger slideshows such as 'English Countryside' take a long time to initially load, and over the next few days will implement a system to speed up those loading times.

Yes, great, Chris and Sarah!  Now when I have to leave the computer to do stuff around the house, I can just let the slide show run and each time I pass the computer, there will be a few lovely photos to view.  Maybe that way I'll get to se them all eventually.  LOL. Thanks!
