If, like me, you are impatient and post an image on the Gallery without considering it for hours🤔, then you decide something needs tweaking....it's frustrating that you can't edit the image without making a new post. Before the site was changed you could do this, edit just the image. I wonder whether there's any chance of reverting to this? Dawn? The reason I bring this up is because I've just fallen foul, yet again, of my impatience - or is it impetuosity? I can't see myself changing, at this late stage.

Yes, it is a pity that this useful editing facility wasn’t factored into the ‘new’ site. Dawn and the design team are aware of it, I raised the issue myself quite recently. Dawn advised me that it’s on the ‘to do’ list, until then Marjorie, all you can do is repost it with perhaps an explanation!

Yes, Alan, I just didn't want to post the same one again. I'll have to hold back in future, before posting.

I very often have the same problem, and have also raised it with Dawn a few times - as Alan says, it’s on the ‘to do’ list, hopefully it will get reinstated soon - I believe Dawn said they’d been working with a reduced  IT team since lockdown.  It’s so frustrating when you post something and find afterwards that you need to make a small correction!

Unfortunately the design team took it upon themselves to disregard some of the many good features that were on the previous version during the redesign stage. Dawn has been on the case and I’m confident that many of these will be reinstated... eventually, as Jenny says, limited staff etc at present.
