The fact is that most people don't caption and the data management sub committee are (I have to admit) a rather motley crew of misfits and miscreants. I'll endeavour to correct your captions at the earliest opportunity. OTOH, maybe a Rul change is in order where captions are neither required, desired or accepted.

Assuming you add the caption by hand, it it more convenient for you to find it in the Comments field of the image or in the text of the message used to send the picture to you? Bob |

I was about to suggest that when you add comments, that you send your post subject with the word "Comments" in it. Put the comments in the body of the e-mail as you usually do (not embedded in the image file). Subject: Martha's pics / COMMENTS That might help the blind people in data management find the comments and paste them into pbase on transfer. Basic fact is that when the data management folks open the e-mail they simply hit "download attachments" and move on. They usually have the images up on pbase within minutes of receiving them (in a hidden gallery). -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |

That explains why the blue "view map" Pbase location link doesn't show up in recent posts as in this prior submission. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/131364279 http://maps.pbase.com/shootin/image/131364279 Considering the SI Committee had already added the following Note to the current NG notifications: "NOTES: [1] Files that contain geotags will be posted to Panoramio under ** * "shootinphotos" as well as to the Pbase site.* If you do not ** * wish this to occur either remove the tags or advise the ** * committee at the address below when submitting photos to the ** * SI, or by comment in the newsgroup(s)." I certainly implied my approval and was surprised to find the blue Pbase "view map" link usually found below the File label, missing from those entries for the current SI. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's a shame that Pbase doesn't see the title and comments fields and display them automatically if they're present. But I guess that's really just a corollary of the broader principle that all computer programs should be written as I would write them if I had the time, knowledge, and ingenuity. Bob |
