Sorry, Charlie. :oops: I had forgotten about this question.
I did visit Big Blue under an alias to see how things look to regular Members. What I found useful for viewing pictures is to go to the "Members" list (near the top of your screen, at the right, next to "Log In"/"Log Out". You can either work your way through the list, or use the "Find a Member" option.
Next, simply click on the Member's name, which will take you to a profile page for that Member. This will include some images at the bottom of the page (if, of course, that Member has images in the Gallery). However, you'll find more images simply by clicking on "Search User's Images", under the heading "User Statistics". In my Gallery, for instance, using the latter method, there are 715 images, displayed 200 to a page. As you've learned, click on the "Image Name" for an enlarged view.
There is a "Next" button, of sorts, in the form of a thumbnail at the top right of the screen where you view the enlarged picture, which will let you go through the entire Album. However, if you're looking for particular images, for instance, freight cars, it's probably faster to scroll down the Album pages, enlarging only those at which you'd like a closer look. The pictures are arranged, more-or-less, in the Gallery by-type, but for some reason they appear in a more random fashion when accessed in this manner.
