Some help With Imgur?

[Heaven Canceler]

Wanted to reorganize some pictures I had uploaded to Imgur etc.. in albums.

Noticed that they had apparently modified how the thing works. They removed the "edit" button in the album view and now I cannot just change things easily.. in the past you could just look for images that aren't yet in albums and stuff... inside the album there is an "Browse Uploaded images" button below the upload window.. but it shows ALL images I got on my account instead of only the shit that doesn't already has an album..

Meanwhile the whole images does have a ability to filter by Album and search out non-album pictures. But well...

Perhaps I am blind, but I don't see any "Yes Actually add to album now" button. The "add images" button just lets me upload shit from adress/site/uploaded images again. And edit button makes all the images I have marked appear one after another to be modified by the weird modify feature I have never before used anyway...

Anyone can help me please?

Seems like something CrossyCross might be able to help with...

If you want to add images to an album?
(replace all instances of "crossycross" with your own username)

Go to https://crossycross.imgur.com/all/
>on the upper left section, there's the "all images" button. Press it, it'll show non-album images, new album, then the various albums.
Click on the album you want to add images to.
Once it has shifted to that album (the thumbnails it's showing should be the album's own thumbnails now, with the number on the upper left showing the number of images in the album), click the "edit this album" button on the upper left. Click "add or remove images" from the list, and it will show you the same old interface for adding pictures, from all images to non-album images.



If you want to rearrange images in the album?
Go to the album url. I mean like this kind of url: https://imgur.com/a/SkjgjCm
Add "/layout/grid" onto it, then load the album page.

If you're logged in and it's your album, there will be a "rearrange images" button on the middle of the right side. CLick it, and it will allow you to start dragging images to the pattern you want.
on the right
Note that they fucked things up recently, so the chosen thumbnail image for the album when you go to your galleries is the FIRST image (so the upper left corner image if you rearrange the album) in the album.

If those don't work for you then I dunno. That's how I do things and it works.


Right now though, imgur's gotten real fucked, what with they've done to the albums/gallery page, and how there's no more personalized sorting, not even alphabetical, among other useful things. It's really worsened the use of it, and kind of killed the usability for people like me with lots of images and albums. The biggest issues as I've noticed are these:

Martyn, the error where two albums showed up as blank colored boxes has been fixed, so thanks for that. But it's been almost two weeks now and some issues remain. I think two weeks have been long enough to repeat them.
1: Alphabetical Sorting. (the most important, in my opinion) Part of the usefulness of the old album page was being able to personally modify the arrangements of the albums. Even if that particular old function can no longer be returned, just having an option for alphabetical sorting means creative usage of titles can once more give users a personalized arrangement of albums for ease of use.
2: Option to have all albums load without having to scroll down repeatedly. If paired with fixing the ctrl+F issue (where albums are unloading as you scroll past them) and an Alphabetical sorting, would let people with many albums quickly and reliably navigate their galleries again. Sure, loading times would increase, but we'd have to scroll down to get all the albums anyway.
3: Option to be able to edit Album names in the Posts page, rather than having to click into the album, load the page, then edit the name. This is tied to the Alphabetical Sorting request, as otherwise it would be a bit clunky having to constantly go back and forth across albums to change their name if you're attempting to organize loads of albums. It's just more convenient if you edit names on just one page.
4: Is it possible to have a "# of albums" for the Hidden/Public section? The old album function had that, and even the images page has a tracker for number of images. This is so that I can keep track of how many albums I have. It's not critical, but I feel it'd be nice.
Has there been any progress/comments on these? Are the devs planning on adding any of these?

Basically, they took out personalized sorting of albums, and also didn't add anything like Alphabetical, so it's all by descending/ascending, which is super fucked.

Albums unload as your screen scrolls past, so you can't even use ctrl+F to quickly find your now highly disorganized albums. Not to mention not loading every album and having to constantly scroll down to get to them.

Along with many other minor bits of functionality.


For people with lots of albums, this has been highly detrimental.
