How do you change the description of your gallery?

I created a new gallery, but I want to change the description. I have it so that only friends can post their projects. I know it is possible, but I don't know how to do it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

To change the description, just click on the description and change it.  To change who can post projects, there is a button labeled "change who can add projects".  Click on that.

Ok thanks! Also, I tried to change the picture, but it wouldn't update it! I even made the picture 93x93 and it wouldn't change, do you know what I can do to make it accept it?

I had the same problem, it just takes a few minutes to work.

No, I don't think that is it... It never changed, even after it stopped updating.

Well, I didn't think it worked either. But I logged on an hour or two later and it was changed...

That happened to me too. I'm not sure if it was exactly the same problem, but I updated the gallery picture, and it gave me no error message, but it didn't change. Other people saw the change though, and when closed and restarted Firefox, I could see it too.

Re: How do you change the description of your gallery?

I have figured out why it does that!!! When you go to the gallery it stores the little picture into the cache. The cache contains small bits of information and the next time you go to a web page if there is a bit of information, like a picture, that is on the webpage it will take it out of the cache, therefore making it load faster.

When you visit the gallery after you change the picture, then it takes the picture out of the cache instead of reloading it from the webpage. You have to empty your cache in order to have the picture changed.

The reason that it changed when you restarted Firefox is because whenever you quit Firefox it has a popup where you can clear private information (cookies, cache, browsing history, passwords, etc.) and you cleared the cache.

Wow! There is something I didn't know! Thanks!
