How not to fix a problem with Slideshow Gallery Pro

Earlier today (11th or 12th Jan) my Slideshow Gallery Pro page stopped working. It started displaying a rotating circle and never populated the slideshow. I tried a bit of problem determination on a local site – and got a different problem –  thumbnails not appearing.  So then I tried updating SexyBookmarks – since it told me it had a new version. Now that’s gone wrong too. One day I’ll fix the problem but this is what they were supposed to look like.

And this is what they look like now.

And the fix was…

After installing the upgrade – from 3.2.9 to 3.2.9 – I went to the SexyBookmarks settings, changed nothing and chose Save changes. Fixed magically But Slideshow Gallery Pro is still a problem.
