    some albums are not visible to registered users

    some albums are not visible to registered users, these albums are set as public (visible only for registered users), but the message that is given is as if they were private:

    Invalid Album specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
    Thanks for solution to the problem

    Check Usergroup > Registered Users > and what do you have set for Can View Albums? Also, be aware that users may set their own privacy on the albums when they create them. They have the option to make them Public or Private (Only visible to contacts and moderators). So, even if the Registered Users are allowed to View Albums, they may not be able to view and album that was set to Private when the user created it.

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

      Registered users are allowed to watch the albums .... the albums are set as visible public .... This event occurs only for a few albums and I do not understand why.

        If you are positive the album owners are not setting these to private and if you have ticket support, then you should put in a ticket so we can look at this.

          I'm seeing the same issue on at least one album on my site. It is marked as public, I can see it as an admin user, but registered users and those who aren't logged in see "invalid album specified" error as described earlier in this thread. I've optimized/repaired the db and checked permissions, and I can't explain why it's still happening.

            Check to see if the owner of the album has set it so only contacts may see the album.
