There can be many reasons why it's good to revisit an image after a comment is made about it. It doesn't have to be as big as the originally posted image though. A thumbnail would probably be good enough as a reminder. Or maybe a link to the original post with the image would be better. I've found myself looking for an image after a comment has been made about it, usually with success, but sometimes, after going back to the previous few pages without finding it, I give up.

So have I, but looking through a thread with the same image appearing again and again is quite annoying. Especially when the image is quoted again the very next post.

a simple numbering scheme would help a little.

If one clicks on the number of the post (upper right), that opens the post in a separate window -- then the web address can be copied and pasted into one's post to link directly to it.

If an image is several pages back, I can understand people copying the image into their posts -- but the reason it is probably several pages back is that others have copied images for no real reason. If folks had used a little restraint, we probably would be on page 65, not 165.

Good point, and thanks for the tip on posting a link to the image.

I sincerely hope so too.

Just to make myself perfectly clear: I meant that as a true compliment to their image making skills and I definitely want to see and hear more from any and all of them.

What I had in mind was some sort of "Masters' Gallery" or perhaps "Masters' Corner"...

As for repeating the image in my quote, well, that happens when one hits the "Quote" button without cleaning up the generated quote. It was late and I was cranky too, you see, just like some of those who complained about it... ;) That's probably why my wording ended up so clumsy too.

Just a little extra help for those who might be new to this game… :)

When you click “Quote” (so you can type a reply), the image part of the quote (not the words part of the quote) is indicated by the two bracketed codes: [IMG] … [/IMG]. The image link is in-between.

If you wish not to re-post the image in your reply (but want to keep the poster’s words for reference), simply delete those two bracketed codes and what’s in-between. This prevents the image from reappearing, but keeps the words.

If later, someone reads your response, and wants to see the associated image that’s no longer there, they can click that blue arrow (in your quoted text, next to the quoted person’s name). I think that takes you to the initial image post, no matter “how far away” it is…

Rhemz, Jim and Ken, thank you, very much

Rhemz, that field photo is fabulous.

Jim, another of your dramatic and beautifull skies...

I got really wet that day.

Nice images here every day. Thanks everyone for sharing and inspiring!

Here is one from Zion. Taken on Velvia, it was nice as color but it takes on a better life in monochrome.
