So I found out that OG actually uses the teaser version which makes it 
even worse - the bg is just one line which is why it shows the whole 
gallery on the group page, but if I make a page that shows the list of 
galleries then after 5 or 6 galleries get listed it cuts off (depending 
on how much intro text i put in).

And there's another problem as well.  If the galleries are done this way 
then they cannot be listed as a group gallery (or it will show up on the 
groups page again) and in that case the gallery is accessible to the 
public and google will probably crawl it because it will be listed in 
the sitemap...

Is there any way I can tweak this, without changing the teaser length 
for the whole site?
