Could please post a short tutorial?

There are some good features here!

Below is a screenshot of new actions you get when you hover over images (outlined in red)

The second image, when I click on the light-bulb, links to the Idea Exchange post that the image is embedded in. Likewise, images with a blue folder link to a Board Topic.

I'm guessing that images like the first that have no links can be safely deleted? (since these typically represent "first draft" images replaced by a better image, like above)

Also, I have not tried this yet, but I wonder if a single image embedded in a PM, an Idea, and a Topic will all have icons?

Overall, it's a step up from the previous Image Gallery.

Two minor problems:

1. Get rid of the bookmark doohickey - it's a performance killer and a nuisance
2. Pages 13 and 14 (only these two out of 15 pages) return "Message not found" when viewing my public image gallery

Other than that, this is a good upgrade.

Altenbach - I've reported the bug with the cutoff names.

Jack - I've requested the removal of the bookmark button.  Pages 13 & 14 of your images seems to work for me. If you logout of the forums, do you still have the same problem?

Ben - when you upload a new image in your Album page, you can select to create a new album if you wish. Once you've got more than one album, you can move images between the albums.  You'll see an option under Image Options to "Turn on Batch Processing".  Once that's on, you can select images and then use the option "Move Image" under the Image options menu.  You can also delete images easily using the gray "X" that shows up when hovering over the images.  Jack brings up a good point though - you probably don't want to delete images that have been used in a post.  The images used in a post will show another icon indicating if it was a forum message or an idea like in Jack's screenshot.  If there is no icon, it's safe to assume that the image hasn't been used.

Jack - I ran a test that shows even if you manually copy and paste the image URL for and embedded image, the gallery page still provides a link to the thread.

Thanks everyone!

The bookmark button has been removed from the image pages.

Thanks,

The cut off rank icon on the image pages is now fixed.
