Solved Managing Images

[AGeese]

So I seem to have trouble finding my own way to do the following:

1. Move images I've uploaded directly to forum posts into albums (that sit under my images.)
2. Delete images I've uploaded directly to the forum posts that can no longer be edited.
3. Delete an album folder.
4. Reorder images within albums so they aren't out of sequence.
5. Rename albums.

Is there a way I can do any of this myself?

So I seem to have trouble finding my own way to do the following:

I will try to answer some of these questions.

1. Move images I've uploaded directly to forum posts into albums (that sit under my images.)

Images cannot be "moved" from a post to an album. If you want images from posts in an album, you can do either of these:

1. Find the original on your computer and upload it to the album
2. Save the post's image to your drive, then upload it to the album

2. Delete images I've uploaded directly to the forum posts that can no longer be edited.

You can report them and ask to have them deleted and staff will discuss it.

Deleting images can disrupt the continuity of a thread and make it difficult for other users to follow the conversation. Secondly, deleting images can also remove important information or context that other users may need to refer back to in the future.

3. Delete an album folder.

You can report it.

4. Reorder images within albums so they aren't out of sequence.

We used to be able to do this, but when we switched platforms we lost the ability. If you want them in sequence, upload them in the order you want to see them. For example, see our 2025 Calendar Contest here:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/albums/2025-calendar-entries.7430288/

The first one uploaded is #1 and it appears on page one. The last one entered is #179 and it appears on page eight.

5. Rename albums.

You can report it.

Is there a way I can do any of this myself?

You can do #4 yourself by uploading the images in the order you want them to appear. For 1, 2, 3, & 5, report them.

Does that help?

Yes thank you, figured as much, but wanted to be certain that wasn't the case
