I tried to upload a picture somewhere else but it complained it wasn't in my user gallery, so it would not add it. That's a bit weird IMO. Personally I don't need any galleries for myself, I just wanted to add the picture elsewhere. It could well be that I don't quite know how to use the new board yet. Ah, this was it:
You may add pictures to this group from your albums. Paste the URL of each picture you want to add on a separate line. Alternatively, you can add pictures to this group by first viewing them in your albums and then selecting "Add Pictures to Group".
Why the pictures need to be put to some private user album before they can be posted in groups is beyond me. This doesn't quite make sense IMO.
As for the passive aggressive. I'm sorry if it came out that way, it wasn't intended as such. It was meant to be plain observation of facts.
Now, I must add that you guys have done
excellent job moving a.org to the new CMS. Such work is never easy, and it for sure generates tons of stress. However, this forum is called "Suggestions and Feedback", and this is what I used it for.
