Morning @RachSANECEO , @Ru-bee , @tyme 

there is one little thing I cannot view my saved photos to select and download a saved photo on the thread 

I can upload a photo from my computer, that is ok, but I have tons of saved photos on the forum that i can use

Hey @Shaz51 , I was able to do this by clicking the camera button and then going to saved photos. All my photos were there. Alternatively, I could go to my profile, scroll to the bottom and my photos were there.

Does this work for you?

[Ru-bee]

Hey @Shaz51 really helpful feedback and a valid question! I've raised these with the amazing team behind the scenes who are going to look at options to include this in a future update

[Shaz51]

sorry @tyme  the saved button is not working for some reason 😎

[tyme]

You're right. I've escalated this one. @Shaz51 Glad you can workshop these bugs with us. Thank you for your patience.

When you click on your name, do the photos come up 'Profile (tyme)' button?

[Shaz51]

Yes @tyme but the saved button does not work

Pasted from another thread.

@tyme said....

From what I know, the format is to encourage members to create new threads when new things come up in their lives as opposed to having threads that have over 8000 pages. This is to ease navigation, and to invite new members into the conversations.

I'm not sure as yet whether we will be closing long-standing threads.

@tyme I'd wondered about that with the emphasis on the recovery model. But in mental health the recovery model doesn't necessarily mean cure, it can mean acceptance of a longterm or chronic condition and adjustment of lifestyle to fit constrained functionality and finances.  And the SANE community includes seniors who were never given the opportunity of NDIS supports. There'd be some who've experienced the closure and decommissioning of the longterm psychiatric hospitals and being left to fend for themselves in systems designed for short-term crisis interventions and counselling for the worried well, and the closure of publicly funded community services in the expectation that self-managed NDIS-funded private business arrangements will cover all needs. This paradigm shift isn't unique to mental health,  it's occurred in other areas of disability as well. If SANE is making a conscious and calculated attempt to move away from supporting its longterm members, some of whom are seniors, but all of whom cherish the connections they've made, where are they to go? Surely there's room for enduring relationships somewhere in another hub. Have you ever analysed the reasons people give for reaching out to start with? Loneliness and social isolation would be up there with relationship issues and specific MH diagnoses. Daily living is an ongoing challenge for some on so many levels. For others their needs may fluctuate but persist over time. 

I trust you'll take this on board before making irreversible changes.

@Ru-bee@tyme Not sure if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, it's a small thing but the dark blue boxes in each listed discussion use black text in them.  Where it says the space name and the creation date...
