Prerequisites
What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe.
I created some small ads on my home page that cycle nicely, changing subtly after about a minute. However because the slider always starts at the top of the list, the top advert is always seen first. It gets disproportionately more views than the subsequent ads - so much so, the other ads are usually not seen because visitors have navigated away to other parts of the site. I’m happy that they see only one ad, just NOT always the SAME one.
Describe the solution you'd like
In Slider Options, a button to toggle ‘Randomise on refresh’’. This would force the cycle to start at a randomly selected slide every time the page refreshes. The order of slides would remain as set, just the start point would change each time.
A second button - ‘Randomise order’ - would optionally randomise the ORDER of the slideshow.
Having both buttons would make it possible to eg always start with the same ‘header’ slide then randomise what follows.
Describe alternatives you've considered
could rotate the ads more quickly and get every slide seen but I find fast changing ads a distraction and immensely irritating.
