It's the most frustrating thing about websites and social media pages. One can spend hours personalising the headers and avatars, only to find other people see it completely differently according to their device, and evn their browser. Nothing can be done.

Is anybody else having problems viewing the Gallery Banner?   I am only getting to see some of the images with big gaps between them - if I put the cursor over the gaps, the title and number of views comes up  but no painting!   I use Chrome so it may only be an issue with that.   I have pasted a screen image below.

Many apologies for posting previous message twice!  I have no idea how that happened and although I can edit the message there appears to be no option to delete it - (or possibly I just can't find it)

I’m using an iPad but the Banner is as it should be Margaret, no gaps! Could you try changing from Chrome?

Might have to change but I must admit I'm reluctant!  I prefer Chrome and didn't have problems with the old website.

I’ve had issues with Google Chrome and was advised by a techie from Apple to switch to Safari. No issues since, so worth a try perhaps!

That’s what I thought, if only to prove the point. You can always switch back if you don’t like it Margaret.

Well, there's a thing...reading this made me look again on my PC.  I'm using google and do get gaps in the gallery banner.  It didn't really bother me, I thought they'd sort it soon.  But it's nothing to do with POL.  I've just tried using Microsoft Edge search engine.  No gaps there.  So it is Google.  Being a creature of habit, I've stuck with google.  I'll use Edge instead.

Interesting to see how it works on the different browsers. I don't have Safari and always seem to have problems with Internet Explorer on this (admittedly fairly old) laptop. Think I'll just have to thole the missing bits until I get a new laptop! Thanks for the responses to this problem :)

Windows 10 / Firefox browser / widescreen laptop. Never had gaps in the gallery banner, and very much doubt it can be a Google issue. Might  be that some images have a large file size, and are thus slow to load on your pc / laptop / phone? Have you tried clicking on the gaps and seeing if you can encourage them to appear?

Am I imagining it or is there less of a description on much of the work posted since the changes to the site? Often there is no size shown or even details of medium used. I don’t know if the new site set up has actually affected what people put, but there seems a lack of a “how to use” section. I tick the boxes about medium etc when posting but does this show anywhere? I can’t see that it does. Tessa
