Okay, comments field it is

So, in looking over the captioning, I realize that they're also default bold and centered, which is another handicap for using them. However, the comments appear directly below the picture and are appended in order (earliest comments first) so I believe that it could be used to caption the picture. Seems a little odd, but I think people could get used to it, and unlike the captions, it takes line breaks. (No formatting otherwise, but that's liveable with.)

The only problem I can think of is keeping the picture on screen with the caption as much as possible (i.e., longer captions scrolling is fine; the offishul site has that issue, too). I probably will want to decrease the default dimensions of the picture and let people magnify it at will to help with this (ETA except for some reason this isn't working... hrm. Well, maybe I'll just leave it be.)

I now have my copy of BV installed and am testing things. I still have to put back custom content I've gotten from others and work on getting my own finished, but I'll be doing that starting Monday, I think. With any luck, by the end of the month I will feel I'm set up enough to begin working on stories again, though I'm going to aviod the legacy for a while in lieu of getting the sekrit projekt moving -- it's a shorter project anyhow, technically, though it probably will take longer per release than a legacy would (but I envision the legacy having a minimum of 100 releases, whereas this has a dozen plus a few extras).

ETA2 And here's the sample using the comments for the captions.
