Often, members need to manage the images that they have posted to the Galleries or their Personal Albums. This may include curation of an album, moving images between albums or galleries, or deleting images.
PLEASE NOTE:
Image management can only be applied to Gallery or Album images. Any image that was posted to a Forum Posting Group is subject to normal editing times and is 'mirrored' to the gallery All Forum Group Images
. These mirror images cannot be managed or deleted.
GALLERY & ALBUMS--
Part 1
Managing Multiple Images
(
Quick Method)
In the main top FotoFora menu bar, click the dropdown arrow
(#1) on the
All FotoFora Images
. The submenu seen in the image below will appear. Click on either
Your Images
or
Your Albums
depending on your purpose
(#2). You will be shown a screen containing your images similar to this:
You will now be sent to a screen with all of your personal images in Albums and Galleries.
As shown in Arrow
#1, when you hover over the image or title with the mouse, a green checkbox and tooltip appear. Check the box for any single or multiple images you wish to delete or move.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Images you have posted to the Forum Groups will be mirrored in a gallery titled All Forum Group Images
. These images cannot be deleted as they belong to the forums. Although the box can be checked as seen by Arrow #2 , none of the management options are available until these type images are unchecked.
Arrow
#4 confirms the number of selected files (
along with the management bar).
ADVISORY
Note the red circle around the information labeled #5. If you delete an image that contains reviews, ratings, comments, or reactions--all of that information will be removed, and any ranking scores you hold reduced commensurately. This action is final and cannot be undone.
Select your management choice as shown in Arrow
#3. Note too that you can jump between Galleries and Albums via the side menu,
#6.
The options to move, edit, or delete will appear as shown by Arrow
#2 below. If no options appear for multiple images, check for non-deletable mirror images and remove them (Arrow
#1).
Press the Go button when ready. Then, confirm the action in the deletion popup.
GALLERY & ALBUMS--Part 2
Managing Single Images
To delete an image in your Album(s) or the public Galleries, first navigate to the image you want to manage. Then, as shown in the graphic below click on the
Delete
text. A popup window will appear. It is not necessary to enter text in the input field unless you wish to do so for your own notes. Click on the
Delete
button.
Other file management options including moving your files are available in the extended menu. As before, once you are on the image page, find the
three dots
(#1) in the management bar as shown and click. Your new extended menu will appear
(#2). Make your choice as appropriate.
REMEMBER
Images you have posted to the Forum Groups are mirrored in a gallery titled All Forum Group Images
. These images cannot be deleted as they belong to the forums.
