I have often wanted to re-word my photo caption and now I can. Yay! I love that we can resort the photos we add to a review.

A big "THANK YOU" for a great team!

I agree. The photos are awesome. I usually add one if it's not already there.

Hey all, glad to hear all the positive feedback. The remaining improvements (resorting and caption editing) should launch towards the end of this week.

And BTW, I'm just the bearer of good news. I may be the de facto public voice of the tech team, but I don't actually do all of the work! :) We have a great team and I'm proud to be a part of it. These particular photo enhancements were brought to you by our new contractor Michael.

Thanks, Kevin -- I tend to get into wordy, descriptive captions and it can be very discouraging to have to dump the whole thing and reload the picture just to change one word. This will help a lot. Plus I enjoy seeing the photos of others as well as using my own.

wonderful news -- I know I have often wanted to add more photos - like the girls playing with the toys but very rarely have the time to do all that entails so may only add one. but one of my favorite travel writer uploads TONS of photos and is in Turkey now. I can't wait till he gets back and finds out about this nifty feature.

That rules! I have left typo'd photo captions because it would have screwed everything up if I deleted the pic and reposted (plus I was too lazy). Thanks so much for this upgrade!

Thank you so much. I am one that utilizes the photos in my review and I was one that resorted to the save draft, add a photo and so on. I appreciate that you are going to allow photo edits and resorting because many times just to edit a photo meant to delete but then if we wished to keep them in a specific sequence we had to start over. Thanks so much for all the work you do on your end to make our end more pleasant. Wow--that sounds like a soundbite for toilet paper ;+) Really, I wouldn't be able to do half of the troubleshooting and improvements that you do.

Great improvements! I'd give you a standing O, but you wouldn't be able to see me clapping anyway.

I agree with Cyndi and offer a big THANKS for the upgrades to the photo function. I noticed yesterday that uploading photos was easier and am very much looking forward to the ability to edit captions and re-sort the photos. All are excellent features.

Thank you from a clever sort (-:

The caption edit function will help greatly. I esp love to make typos in titles and captions.

We (the Viewpoints Tech Team) just pushed a few bug fixes last night and one enhancement I think you all will enjoy: you can now upload up to 12 photos per review...without resorting to the workaround that some of you clever sorts used to use to upload more than 3.

Also, coming next week you will be able to re-sort the photos attached to a review and you will be able to edit their captions (both without deleting and re-uploading).

We believe that photos really bring your reviews to life. Hopefully, you'll find these enhancements to be easier to use and help to make your reviews get your point of view across better.
