Just wondering if it would be possible when we upload an image that we can have the comment box open too for those of us who write poems/stories to go with the image instead of writing it in the description section.. most of us wait until the image eventually shows up then try to get it done before anyone comments..

why not just write whatever it is, in the narrative box underneath the image? is there a limit on characters typed?

No there's no limit.. but it just puts everything in one long line when some writings need seperate lines like poems

not if you include < p > (without spaces) to separate paragraphs

< BR > creates a sentence break (new line)

ok i didnt know that thanks.. so scrap that idea i suggested.. lol

nor did I know that .. and have been wondering how people do it


and ... if this gets passed .. it shall be known as "Keith's Law" .. since I've been requesting it for eons


in fact .. I think the 'comment boxes' should be called .."Komment Boxes"

I sort of figured if I shared that here, others would learn from it...

wait...

I knew something that Keith didn't...

*Savors the moment*

WOW no wonder i'm going to get hit by a big storm... Baby Big Ears aka King Sniff-n-find didn't know that!!!!!!!!! ;)

personally I think it is better if you keep your description as short as possible and if you have something longer to say - add it as the first comment as Jacqueline suggested - we have had some ridiculously long descriptions before - some more than a full screens length that are just pointless and put people off usually hanging around to read them or look at the image.

Thanks Phil.. thats why I thought if the comment window was available when you upload to write the epic novel it would be better.. what i've been doing when i wanted to add a poem etc.. is wait.. and wait.. and wait until it's finally processed and hopefully i get to jump in there before anyone can comment on it.

Another option I suppose would be to make un-approved images available to view as normal to the author only?

Perfect. That would also help to eliminate some last minute deleting due to previously missed errors,and quality issues.

I know, it's a separate issue, but could work. I often try to be the first to view, to make sure an image looks ok. I'm sure others do as well.

That would work too

RE: "I'm sure others do as well

some haven't even been back since posting "their" work ... after YEARS

I was trying to take the high road,and see the glass as half full...

If you take the low road your MACRO shots are half as difficult to take

'cuz you're so much closer to the ground

I'm going to give this a bump to the top, to save time for anyone who like me is looking for the way to do paragraph breaks.

Like this.

Hannah, you can use the HTML tags p and /p for paragraph breaks. Just place p at the start of a new paragraph, and then /p at the very end. After you hit enter, you should see the break. You also need to add <> around each of these tags. I left them out here, because after I hit enter the code was gone and this entry was broken up :)

I believe you can also use b /b (bold); i /i (italicized); and simply one
br / (line break).
