There are 2 ways to access your gallery. 1.   Click on 'my account', then 'my art'.  This takes you to your gallery.  If you have different folders in your gallery, this is the one that has them...but it only has your description of your paintings.  It does NOT have the comments. 2.  Click GALLERY, then search for yourself using the search button.  I found this method by accident, just checking if it worked.  I expected it to take me to my gallery mentioned in 1 (above).  It didn't.  I found all my gallery art...48 pages of it...none of it in folders.   But it DOES HAVE ALL THE COMMENTS made on your art...clicking on a thumbnail image brings up the large picture with all the comments. This is clearly a mistake, there shouldn't be two different gallery versions of our art.   I hope it gets sorted, and that they don't lose our comments in the process.   Things are improving...I've had an email notifying me about comments, that wasn't happening yesterday. I use a desktop PC, if you're on a tablet, I have it works. Good luck, Lew.

Lewis, I don't think this has changed - the My Art section is there so you can edit your posts, not view others' comments on your work.  I am still finding the search option from the main gallery a bit hit and miss, and have resorted to Google, searching on my name followed by artist and the first item listed took me straight to my profile with all the posts and comments etc.  I've saved this as a Favourite so if I want to go straight to my own gallery I don't have to search in POL.

You may be right, Jenny.   I'm already doubting how things were on the old website.   But I seem to remember when going into 'my art' before, it showed the comments and you could edit and delete stuff.  Not that it matters one way or the other now.    Good tip about Google.

Yes, the My Art section does let you edit and it did on the old site. However, it also included the comments received and you could open up the thumbnail photo. Now you can't. With a bit of luck it will be restored. I'm off to Google myself. LOL
