Has anyone else "lost" paintings after the transfer from old to new site? I seem to have lost quite a few! And not all are old ones. Disappointed....

I have lost a few out of some of my galleries. Luckily I have them on my computer so I could load them again if I wanted to, but am loathe to do it as the gallery should be for new work only. We did ask POL, when they were re-planning the site, to give the facility to load paintings and move them around within one's own portfolios without them necessarily appearing on the gallery, but that hasn't happened so we are all stuck with having to load everything onto the gallery. All it would have taken was an option button 'gallery' or 'portfolio only' and we could have done this. However, a lot of the suggestions and hopes we had for the new site don't seem to have come to fruition for one reason or other. Shame as it would have made the new site even better and much more user friendly.

No, but I have acquired 3 lovely paintings in my gallery, of which have been reported and still not been claimed. I have now deleted these, I figure the artist can upload them into his/her gallery again when he/she realises they are not there? meanwhile, I have uploaded 3 paintings into my gallery.

For "missing paintings" now read "found paintings"! They are all in my "artist's profile" and I found them when I clicked "view gallery". They can only be seen here however, which I find confusing. This is not an improvement on the old site I feel.
