Brett your album has a 12 photo capacity. You'll need to go into your album and delete old photos. The buttons will prompt you.

I'm trying to do that but the photos I've got in a thread say "Locked in thread 48198" and there's no box to tick to delete them.
Any ideas?

Don't they stay locked for 3 months or so if used in a thread??

They stay locked until that thread is archived, usually a month or so. That was how it worked a while ago. Not sure if David has changed that feature or not.

Brett
I am not sure what you are trying to do. But if you want to retrieve the pics from the earlier post, open that post and then right click on a photo. Select "save picture as" and then select the folder you want to put it in. Make sure it has a name you can recognise and then press save. A copy of the pic will be saved in the folder you nominated. Then repeat the process for each pic.
Hope this helps.

Hi Tessa, no what I want to do is delete the locked photos in my album so I can add different ones.
Cheers for the advice guys.

Hey Brett, you just need to wait for the post to be archived. The pics are locked so that they display while the post is active. Its about 4 weeks, the othr option is to send an email to info@exploroz.com.au and ask them to archive the post if its a few weeks old they may be able to manually archive the post for you and unlock the pics.

Brett, all the above is a good enough reason to have your photos off on another site like Photobucket and just have them referred to here. That also cuts down the data load rate from EO.
