I have 21 pages in my gallery. From page 17 to page 21 the art is not mine, sometimes there is a word connection ( eg. A view of the Firth of Forth etc ) , sometimes not. Has anyone else found this? I am looking under "search gallery".

You are so right Marjorie.  I’ve just gone through your gallery and yes from page 17 it changes.  Haven’t checked mine , but it’s given me a lovely look at your gallery....it’s breathtaking.

Just did a double check on my gallery. Clicked on My Art and it goes right back to 2011 on a rolling programme with no seperate pages. It was interesting to see the old names commenting - some still with us and some names forgotten - I wonder where they all are.

Michael, the rolling pages are a problem too, it takes ages to scroll back and forth and the work is not in order as it was before. And yes, it jogs the memory when you see all the old names. On POL facebook page, recently,  there was a lovely winter painting by Derek.

Yes I saw that lovely snow scene by Derek, right above one of mine which you also kindly commented on Marjorie. This is concerning to say the least, I haven’t had time to check my stuff, I think there’s 30 plus pages to trawl through. It’s obviously something that Dawn will need to address on her return.

Alan, just a " quick" look, yours starts to go wrong at about page 20.

Oh bugger! Thanks for that news Marjorie, I hope it’s something that can be sorted!

How do you manage a 'quick' look, Marjorie?  Above, for example, you found probs on page 20...I just tried and found the only way I could get to page 20 was by clicking 'next', and then, annoyingly, having to scroll down to the bottom of the page to click 'next' again.  So I gave up pretty quickly. It's odd having two ways to look at people's galleries.   If you do a gallery search, as has been said, you get a jumbled up open ended scroll...very difficult to navigate.  If you click on the artist's profile, you get the various folders they've used.  (Assuming people use folders...I do now...'pen & wash' 2019 etc, etc. The old way was more consumer friendly....with an array of page numbers you could click on.

Lewis, the "quick" was sarcastic, the system to scroll through now is no way " user friendly" and, yes, I just scrolled through, setting aside 5 mins - WHICH I'LL NEVER GET BACK!!!!

Just noticed...there are nearly 6,500 pages on the Gallery. With this non-workable system how could you ever scroll through to the early days?

Just had a look at mine, and it starts to go wrong on page 7 or 8 ( I was losing the will to live by then!), and I then turn into other Tessas and Gwynne s, but worryingly on page 10 I turn into the 2017 version of Jim Morris!!! I didn’t dare look further... Very odd.
