=============================================

I am unable to get watermarks to appear on the website (as viewed through any browser (IE, FF, Chrome, Opera…)

Sequence:

1) Upload files to gallery
2) set up watermark configuration:
GALLERY->OTHER OPTIONS->WATERMARKS
(Text, Lower Right, 100%, Arial.ttf, font size 8, #c9c9c9)
3) set watermark:
GALLERY->MANAGE GALLERIES
(Bulk actions, set watermark, apply)
4) Create page:
(nextgen basic thumbnails, display gallery, save)

The displayed thummbnails appears watermarked, as do any of the images looked at using “Manage Galleries” in the ATP interface while setting up the page.

HOWEVER: Once the page is published, the watermarks do not appear. Cache has been flushed, I’ve tried other browsers, and I’ve used other machines not connected to the same network (even though no proxy is in use.)

I’ve read numerous posts regarding this issue going back at least three years, and attempted the solutions offered there to no avail, so I’m sure I’m not the only one having this problem.

Can anyone provide a solution?
