If I Upload Image With Same Title It Overwrites Previous Image...

This has happened twice for me. I uploaded an image with same title as one of the previous image and now it over wrote that image with my new image but thumb nail shows the one for the previous image in both cases. Anyone has this issue? Is this a known issue? My previous image has some good comments and views but the original image is not showing up. Any thoughts? thanks

I've had the same issue. Lost my old image. Going to have to reload a couple... Curious to see the answer to this. I didn't mean to give it the same title, but once it was done, the old image was GONE.

The title of your art is also in that image's URL, which means each piece in your portfolio must have a unique title. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't be able to send someone a link to a specific work (and neither would Google).

Thanks Dan. Looks like changing the image title after the fact has no effect means it is permanent overwrite. Looks like I will have to delete both images and re upload them with different title. Thanks.

I deleted both images and uploading them again. FAA should have different solution for this problem.

Agreed there should be a warning letting you know you're about to overwrite another image with the same title.

I have 3-4 images titled "Manhattan Skyline" all still on my page.

@Dan, I don't think that is correct, if you look at these 2 images of mine both have the same title but FAA has inserted a "1" after the word featured to distinguish between the two.

ideally you want different titles or it will just confuse everyone. and the link is the title. though i have seen people do it anyway without an issue. my suggestion is to, not do that.
