If you want to move an image from one album to another, there are several options. I will walk through each in turn.

As always, start by viewing the media image you want to move. See Media Gallery - Viewing Images in the Media Gallery for those instructions.
Once you are looking at the image you want to move, click on the 3 horizontal dots to the right and below the image, and select "move media item"

This is the window where you get several options
  • Media Category - Miscellaneous Cooking Images.
    This is a general dumping ground, and if you want to keep track of your images more easily, avoid it. But I had to have one, so it is there. Select it and click Save and you are done.

  • Album - Create personal album.
    This will create a new personal album. It is not sorted into any forum category, but other members can see it, and its contents can be shown using the camera icon in posts.

  • Album - Existing Album
    This is a little harder to use and requires you to have the album URL you want to move the image into in your clipboard.
    In a new window, navigate to "Your albums". Go to the album you want to move the image into, then copy the URL from the website address line.

Code:

Back in the "Move media item" window, paste the copied URL into the "Enter existing album URL:" field, then click Save.

You should end up looking at the existing media image in the new media album.
