When adding photos, be sure the [PROCESSING IMAGE.... PLEASE WAIT] message is gone before submitting! Your image will not show if the message is still there. Kev, is there a way to hide the submit button or maybe something while photos are processing?
The issue with that is there are times when something happens, and it doesn't finish processing or fails to call back and update the screen. In those instances, you would be stuck, as the button would be disabled.
Currently, let's say, after 30 seconds or so, it doesn't update, a user could delete that
[PROCESSING IMAGE... PLEASE WAIT] message and just try again.
That message is just text that gets appended to the existing text in the Edit Window to let you know something is happening. Then, after the image gets uploaded, resized, and compressed, it replaces that message text with the URL/IMG tags to display the image.
After that, it's just text. The image is already in place, and the text is just the "pointer" to it. This means I can cut and paste that to somewhere else in the message if I need to reformat the message.
The great thing about this also, is if someone 'Quotes' your message in a reply, any images in that section they quoted will also show in that reply. So it helps to maintain context for the reader.
