I've asked the tech chaps to look at how photos are moved between albums. I've tweaked some options in the admin area but that particular option is proving elusive. News within a few days I hope.

Andy Stephenson Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Remind me again how do I find my gallery? I'm sure it was under "manage followed content" but it's not there now. Thanks, Andy. Edited February 18, 2021 by Andy Stephenson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I can find my photos in the gallery.I can create an album. I can add photos from my iPad. For the life of me I cannot add a photo off my gallery into an album! What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the list with the techies and we'll be pushing it again on Monday. Here you are Cymas, you're not missing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stephenson Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 KC, once you finally locate them, make a bookmark of the location so you don't have to go through that all again, I did and it avoids all the hassle of having to ask each time.

GrumpyGnome Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @David Ashby 1Hi Any news on the missing controls for migrated images ? If it's a low priority fix (i.e. unlikely to be fixed), I can delete and create new albums. Or I would if when you delete an image you were taken back to your images, rather than member albums - makes it a long and frustrating task....

kc Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Well that's curious they are there now but were not earlier! Earlier each item showed 'nothing here yet ' but now that's changed. I think the " my activity" button was different - it's now top right instead of lower right as per John Stones info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard back from the migration folks this week, they'd gone back to the Invision software people to see if anything could be done. The answer is that a fix can be programmed, but it's not cheap and, given the type, size and scale of the issue (ie. relatively modest) it's difficult to justify the expenditure at the moment. I can only apologise, it's the one remaining issue I'd hoped we could nail before considering the migration pretty much done, but for now it seems as if we're going to have to continue with what we have.

Gary Manuel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 That doesn't make sense David. We have seen a screen capture on this forum showing several photos being selected and a menu opening up at the bottom of the screen with options to move / select etc. The facility already exists but is not available to us. If the developers are claiming that it is an expensive fix, they are either not understanding what we want or are taking the Mickey. I'll be back with screen shot of I can find it.

Gary Manuel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 PS It's not a modest problem. I have hundreds of photos. I can neither move them into useable albums nor delete them. Deleting them one at a time is not a reasonable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't think you need to delete any pictures Gary - they aren't needed for the forum to function but aren't doing any harm by being there other than taking up some memory space.

Danny Fenton Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I have lots of pictures on here, more than 4500, to me they are not important. I only used the albums because I had to to get the pics in the thread. My serious albums and source pics are on my PC, Backup and Flickr page. Seems a lot of fuss over something that is no longer needed? Cheers Danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think that Gary may have a point, unless I'm mistaken, the photos belong to him not to the forum therefore he should be able to delete them. Of course there may well have been some small print in the old forum that stated that once uploaded the ownership of the photos passes to the forum?

The option of selecting photos exists. Someone (a mod I think) posted a screen shot with it working. I'm trying to find the image but it's not easy to find particular posts when you don't know the thread they are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yep, load 5 a time, they loaded in thread backwords, pain to look through albums for em, I shall not miss it in the slightest. Find any I want by going to the threads. Small price to pay (if it is a price) for massive improvements. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm not arguing the merits of the albums. They were a pain and perhaps we are better off without them. I've pondered whether to delete my photos or organise them into Albums again. It would be nice to have the choice rather than leave them in the unmanageable state they are in at the moment. My issue is that I am pretty sure that there is a way of doing it. I've found an image of the screen dump that I've been looking for. Unfortunately I couldn't find the original post, but the name against the photos suggest that it was working for Martin Harris at some point in time. Two questions: 1. Why isn't it working for Martin Harris now. 2. Why can't we all have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Well what can I say ? Speaking as a forum member who watched the effort these 5 mods put in, and the effort the members put in, to make the move as painless as possible, I simply do not care about the photos, and I ain't going to speak for others, or MTM, time to move on for me.
