I wonder if ever POL will give use the ability to move our galleries about one day. Meaning place images from one gallery into another. The only way to do that at the moment is to re-upload  the image into the gallery you want to see it. Which means double posting. Over time I see my galleries need to be updated, reorganised, I think this has been mentioned before. Anyway it would be really great if moving images to another gallery was available.

John - if you edit the current item you can change the gallery name to another existing or new one without having to upload them again.  I frequently do this.

This is a screen capture from the Edit screen- use the scroll bar in the Gallery* field or use the 'Create New Gallery' button:

Well I didn’t know that… it’s something that I’ve tried unsuccessfully to do before. Thanks for the info, I’ll give it a try!

I’ve tried but nothing happens….eg I want to move an item from one gallery to another. I find it in My Art and press edit. I change title to another ‘gallery’ but it doesn’t go anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

What you're doing wrong is trying to use modern technology.  It's a nasty thing, it probably bites, and it's best avoided by all right-thinking people. Translation: I'm still locked out of my Ipad and too fwightened of it to appwoach it again without an armed escort.

Thank you Andrew! Just tried again and it worked. I’ve transferred an image across to a new gallery. I had been pressing the wrong edit button, it’s the edit below the image, not the one above. Robert, you’ve got to get that fixed! Anyone who can call and help?
