Parameters missing

I have searched the internet, forum and looked thoroughly through joomla, but I can no longer find parameters in the Phoca Gallery component (3.1.3) and i'm using Joomla 2.5. I'm new to both so apologies if I'm posting something obvious. I'm nearly finished building my new site, and upgraded everything and now I can not find parameters. I can only change the basic settings for the theme like thumbnail size.
Thanks in advance.

Can anybody help as I'm a little desperate for an answer. Do I need to give clearer information about my problem? All I want to know is after upgrading Joomla and Phoca Gallery I can no longer access the parameters. I'm particularly annoyed as the only reason I upgraded was because I donated to take off the powered by link. Everything was working fine before then.
If a solution is not available can you let me know as I will have to find something else instead. Many Thanks.

Hi,
1. Parameters are called Options in Joomla! 1.6,1.7,2.5
2. You must be logged in with Super User rights to see the Options Button in the upper right corner of Phoca Gallery Control Panel.
Kind regards,
Benno

SOLVED it, I'm such an idiot. Thanks so much, been trying to get to the bottom of this for a day or two.

I have to chime in here because now I'm slightly confused.
In the previous version, where 'parameters' were available like on a menu category view, I was able to set sorting order and other preferences for any menu display.
Now with the new version (2.1.6) it appears that it's a general setting under options - no longer able to have different parameter options when using as a menu/catagory view.
Is this correct? If it is, I see this as a step back. If not, please someone help me figure out how to customize "views" and not default to the general "options" settings.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, this is right. Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 & 2.5 don't support "Parameters - component in menu item" any more!
But there is a way to customize menu items. See:
