You should see a Mod Options button on the bottom of the panel - left of your uploaded image. One of those options is Edit Image. Select Edit Image and you're given the opportunity to edit or change the Caption - the display image name or title, and edit or change the image Description as well. I'm not sure that any of this changes the actual file name on server once it's uploaded, but it should display the way you want. . . . did I answer your question?

Hawkyns, I got your PM. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the exact problem is here - I mean it's obviously a formatting issue of some kind, I'm just not able to duplicate it. Though is sounds familiar to something Cheeky was complaining about that I thought got fixed. http://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=15484 Let me know if this sounds familiar at all.

Not a problem. . . or at least I hope it won't be. Let me catch up on a few more things and take a closer look at jk8s link to code. If it does what we think - maybe we can get something implemented soon rather than later.

Using the link from last year - I assume it will be updated.

I saw a code hook for iPhone when I was updating the Pub and thought maybe. . .

February, 2010 | Pilgrimage to Execution Dock London, ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM The Pilgrimage to Execution Dock is an annual social gathering for pirate re-enactors in and around London. We gather in costume and visit some site of Pirate, or Maritime interest, before making our way to The Prospect Of Whitby Pub at Wapping, the site of Execution Dock, where, amongst others, Captain Kidd was hanged. There we drink a toast to those who have danced the Hempen Jig. This year we have arranged to put on a fund raising display for the Cutty Sark. The Cutty Sark, built in 1869 is the last surviving 19th Century Tea Clipper. In May 2007, whilst undergoing a major renovation, The Cutty Sark caught fire. Fortunately, most of the timbers had been removed for preservation, but the damage to her superstructure was extensive. She is due to reopen to the public in 2010. Cutty Sark website. This is an opportunity to meet up with other pirate enthusiasts, to have a fun day out, and to help raise funds for a fine old ship. If you would like more information, visit the UK Pirate Brotherhood Forum or contact Capt. "Tall Paul" Adams by email admin@ukpiratebrotherhood.co.uk
