Ok, well I've now installed a fresh copy of zenphoto on a different website. I'm getting the same issue as stated in my first post. :S
I set up a clean database, uploaded the latest nightly build and uploaded a few folders of images into the album folder (which imported with no problem). Any possibility of this having to do with magic_quotes being on? These sites are (unfortunately) hosted with godaddy.
here's a link to the latest fresh install so you can see the behavior for yourself.

Since installing the latest nightly build, I do see that the pagination is indeed functioning properly on the album thumbnails pages (wasn't with my previous nightly build I tried), but still not on the index album page.
Also, just to make you aware, the link you provided above (which I've seen developers at zen photo link to before) brings you to a brief summary of the issue and another link that is supposed to bring you to the function guide... which it doesn't, it takes you to the testimonials page. Just a heads up.
In any event, I sure which I could get to the bottom of this pagination issue - considering this is being repeated on now my 3rd fresh install!
Kind Regards
