but the title, the description, and the name of the uploader in my message. Is that intentional? I don't want all that.
Take a few seconds and delete the text you don't want. I can copy the properties and put just the image in a message using the insert/edit image button, which I am now used to, but most users say it is a pain to post images that way And the users are correct. That is primarily useful for inserting images from other sites, not internal images. Do not encourage users to use this for internal images. It is too cumbersome and confusing for the users. I have added three text links for inserting images just to top right of message input box. All a user needs to do is click on insert image link and the gallery comes up in a small window. Clink insert into message and done. I'm not sure what could be quicker or easier. What's wrong with political cartoons related to guns? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: So I'm typing a message and want to add a photo from the Image Gallery. I click on the icon in the message editor window, click on Add Image, and I get not just the image, but the title, the description, and the name of the uploader in my message. Is that intentional? I don't want all that. I just want to use the photo to show an example of something I'm talking about in the message. I can copy the properties and put just the image in a message using the insert/edit image button, which I am now used to, but most users say it is a pain to post images that way and we have had fewer overall images posted in messages since you took away copy/paste. Pretty much unless they upload an image to gallery and put it right into a message, they don't use images. This is probably good because it keeps people from hot-linking images which may not be permalinks, but OTOH some of the photo-oriented people are uploading some real crap to the iimage gallery, like political cartoons--in the name of "gun humor." |
