Posted: 07/02/2019 23:21:02 Reply | Quote I may be having a senior moment here, but how do I move a photo from a personal album to a mine album? Surely this has to be so simple that it's escaped me completely.  -- "You Chinese think of everything!" "But I''m not Chinese!" "Then you must have forgotten something!" IP: 86.167.227.225 |

Click on Move Mine to be guided through a step by step procedure for moving the photo to a regular mine album. Within regular mine albums you will see this cog under your own photos (regional editors and admins see it under all photos) where you have both Move (different album, same mine e.g. User to Archive) and Move Mine (album in a different mine). In all cases you also get an Edit option that can be used to retrospectively add a caption. -- my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by IP: 213.205.242.100 |

Hi Simon, I just tried the move album option on Dowgang Burn Coal mine to shift a photo from the current to the archive album and it went through the process but didn't seem to do anything, it may have realised that I'm an idiot and decided to ignore me! I got around it's whimsey easily enough by just deleting the photo in the current album and downloading to the archive. Jim IP: 109.152.5.171 |

Posted: 08/02/2019 09:28:03 Reply | Quote No still ignoring me, the cog is there but not moving, does it expect a higher level of permission (admin etc.) that I have? It's not a major issue but would be good to know. IP: 109.152.5.171 |

Posted: 08/02/2019 09:47:25 Reply | Quote The finger appears and the dropdown menu with four options, it responds to the request to move album and tells me what albums are available and the move tab does appear to respond, but then the photo resolutely stays put. As it's an option I am only likely to use very occasionally and there are ways around I'm sure you have many better things to do. Jim IP: 109.152.5.171 |

Posted: 08/02/2019 23:02:44 Reply | Quote Thanks Simon that seems to have worked fine after some initial trepidation  I thought it may have been a simple case of copy and paste of the photo url, and I was being a bit thick in not finding where to go.
