Reposting photos in Gallery

I would like to add an icon to my photos currently posted in my Gallery. Since I have many photos currently posted in the Forums from my Gallery, can I simply replace the photos in my Gallery with the new version containing the icon, then delete the old versions? Will these new versions be automatically posted in the Forums or will this result in the photos disappearing from my posting? If this is the case would I have to re-edit every posting to get the new versions in place?

I haven't tried it, but I think the gallery will see new uploads as new files and not replacements. I don't think the gallery has the concept of syncing changes/updates to existing files, in order to do what you're asking for, but would need to test to say for sure.

I did just try a test with my "Post your sunset shots" by attempting to edit the original post by replacing the old picture with the new picture with logo and just ended up with a double post in the Forum. However, even though I deleted the original picture from my gallery, the original post still show the original picture and the new post shows the new picture with logo. So I apparently can go ahead and add the edited pictures to my Gallery and delete the original pictures without the Logo.

When replacing the photo, does it keep the same URL in the gallery so that images linked back to the gallery image are auto-updated as well?

If you mean does the updated photo in your gallery automatically replace the old photo posted in a Forum? Sadly the answer is no. I have not even been able to manually replace the photo in a Forum. I end up with a double posting of the image.

Yup, that answers my question and sounds like it's a 'no'.

Oh Oh! I posted a single new version photo to my gallery and deleted the old version and everything seem fine in that the old photo still showed in the post. So I went ahead and did my entire gallery (installed new and deleted old) and again everything seemed fine. However now, a few days later, all of my old posts with photos are no longer displaying the photo. I will fix my old posts as I run into them, but do not plan on a massive campaign to fix them unless someone really objects.
