Organizing photos in my Gallery

[fluidpowerpro]

I would like to organize the photos in my Gallery. Ive played around a bit trying to figure out how, but am not having any luck. 
One issue is that I always end up getting the message "server is unresponsive" so then I'm stuck. If I wouldnt get this message, maybe I could figure it out myself, but cant even get to that point...
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Might be having internet problems. 
I suppose you are seeing Home My Gallery, then the last one is My profile.
Click onto that, a drop will appear, then create/order my albums.
I have a bunch of different albums. It's just easier for me to find a certain picture.
I think this is right. I have not down loaded a picture for years.

I am not 100% sure but, I am pretty confident if you have linked images in your gallery and you move them or rename them then your linked images in your post will be broken. I would recommend you start new folders and organize more from this point on.

@jeff will be able to answer this question better.

Correct, don't go "cleaning up" your gallery, your picture links will start breaking.

[Jeff]

No, actually I think you can move a photo to a new album, as the photos are served by the database, and its an entry for the pic in the database, with the address. if someone wants to upload a photo, post it here, then move it to another album, to see if its still here to test it. 

Me, I'm going to bed.

In folder "scenery"

Moved to folder "houses" saved changes, and posting from that folder. Is the pic above there and the same as this one.

Well I'll be!  ;D

Somewhere in the Black mining hills of Dakota. Somehow it came out that Michelle had always wanted to go on a horse drawn sleigh ride. Bob, the gentleman in the sweater didn't let on but his gears were turning. Time goes by. A sleigh pulls up on the jobsite  .

nice. thats good to know. I have wanted to move stuff around to.

Proving to myself yet again what Mark Twain said "It isn't what you know, it's what you know that just ain't so". I had somehow come to the conclusion I couldn't make new albums or move anything. I got some dusting to do  :D.

[Jeff]

The only reason I assumed you could do it, and if you look in my gallery, you will see ive dumped everything in the same box for years, is that on the server level, the actual files are all in each user's numbered directory together. No album divisions there.

Ahhh the insider look tells the truth

Forgive me but after reading the posts below, I'm not sure what the answer is. 
Is there a way to organize photos? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks,
Tom

Go to your gallery, open the album with the pic in question, open the pic and click "edit", the pic will pop up with this screen;


 
Any time you see that album drop down you can change the album and save changes and it should move it. You can see the edge of the "save changes button sticking out under the bottom right of the drop down menu in the pic above. When you click it the change happens. ...I hope

Just Never Delete a photo you have in a post!!!!

[fluidpowerpro]

Thanks for the help. I went in to my gallery and was able to move photos into new folders, but noticed that then the photo was in both places. When I delete the photo from the original gallery, it also deletes it from the one I moved it to. 
Am I making sense? 
Not a big deal. In the future I will just need to be more careful to put photos where I want them in the first place.

[Jeff]

You can never ever delete photos if used in a post.  You need to go check your old posts and see if they are messed up and of they are, fix them.  When you move a photo you move it. There is one copy of the photo.

Just went through my old posts. Nothing appeared to be wrong.

[Jeff]

Thank goodness. That can be a mess

I can't seem to locate the drop down for create a new folder in my phone. It must be somewhere, because I created one already...

Galllery/files/albums

DOH! Had to review the steps again, I guess it didn't seem natural to me to go to "my profile"
