    I am also still having this issue after the gallery "refresh." Not sure what exactly was refreshed, but it's worse than ever.

    All the people I follow are labeled "anonymous".

    I'm also having major connectivity issues, but I'll contribute to or create a separate thread. Very disappointing, overall though.

    The gallery has been messed up ever since they changed it. People I follow show up as anonymous. Also I have a limited number of favorites I can have the rest disappeared.

    I've also been having this issue for a while. Very annoying.

    I've been having this issue for over a year now as well (combined with the inability to add more followers, but that's a different thread).  The Gallery has been so frustratingly broken for OVER A YEAR.  This is just one more problem that ruins functionality and decreases enjoyment of the game.
