ZooL Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 IF you created the album they are in then i think you can Go to your profile Click albums tab Click title of the album the images are in Then wait a sec and on the left hand side of page a box of that album will appear and there will be a button that says manage album, click that and then select edit album. Inside there there should be a little delete/trashcan item on the images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withdrawl clinic Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 thx zool, but unfortunately... I can click as you say, till edit album, but than all the grey/black images don't show a trashcan/ delete function, as they show with a successful upload. further more concern for me is, the fact that, the page indicates there are 17 pages of this oooo60 image. as well this fault made the pointing right arrow disappear gallery displayed at the top of the forum. now we cant scroll for erlier pics!

withdrawl clinic Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 I can find a delete button by different means, red in color but I don't know if it deletes, and I would have to do this I guess20 times X 17 pages times.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooL Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) I looked up invision forums and supposedly there is some way to multiple select/ select all in oder to delete but cant figure it out, and lol while testing i have somehow upload 3 images in a way that i can't delete them ones Edited June 21, 2020 by ZooL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooL Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 ah ok I found that red delete option you got to so maybe those 3 uploaded same way all yours did, but seems that doesn't work for me even when clicking delete as it errors on save with empty file be a required field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooL Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Cant find anything when uploaded this way, think you might just have to "report" your own album and have a mod delete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withdrawl clinic Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 you make some very good points, zool. i'm not a pc person, but maybe it's problematic to delete, because it never turned into a successful upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withdrawl clinic Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) pump! i think the upload to the gallery function doesn't work any more. thats why no new pics appeared since my above mentioned misshap.. edit: whilst i wrotte this the pic has appearde (pink lotus) but as well many black fields. what happens if you try to upload?

ZooL Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I Uploaded a few when looking for a way to delete gallery but none resulted in the same multi bugged uploads you're having and they all appeared normally on front page.My guess would be it has something to do with the format or encoding of images you're uploading. if they are coming direct from a phone or camera then opening the image in paint or something and then saving them as a new jpg/png file should solve that if that is whats happening.

ZooL Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) The ones i uploaded just appeared in the bar on top of starting page like normal, but then i found the way to "delete" the album and they disappeared from there. atm in there i also see your lotus one and then the rest just black glitch ones with same filename as lotus one but lacking the .jpg extension (just upload another one to double check and yea, still works normal for me) Edited July 11, 2020 by ZooL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZooL Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Way i found is more just a work around that a user could use, wouldn't be a good way to do it on the server as it doesn't technically delete them(i don't think), pretty sure it just makes them invisible to everyone including the uploader and pretty sure the images would still be sitting on the server taking up space but just aren't visible to anyone. Hopefully they will yea add an easy to delete in next update though, would be pretty easy to accidentally upload a personal photo by mistake that you didn't want to be visible to the public.
