In no more than five brief sentances, please just say what you mean.

I don't know what the heck Abyss did to get that result. Coppermine provided text boxes is not made to handle HTML as far as what I have seen.
Edit: First post this thread:
If I try to write a comment to a pic the text (something like) click for bigger pictute is included.
The posts that followed in this thread confused the whole thing. I did not test <i>Comment</i> function, but will check it out now.

I cannot re-create this error, but did not try HTML. If one types in a normal title, title description, and adds a brief comment - these things work for me three times in a row.

Question is, do you have a mouse marker in the box when starting to write?
If not, choose to center or left or right align the text and you get a marker.

I you have that marker it will be very wrong the text you try to write.

Sometimes I cannot write in the box and therefore try to align the text and it work, now I can write in the box as I have the marker but it will be wrong with the link that cannot be edited in any way.

If I chose edit I will only get my text without this link I dont want.

Only way out is to erase the pic and upload it again and before that I copy my text so that I can past it in instead of writing.

I think pasting the text have worked every time.
As past and write should be the same it might be my browser.

I use Firefox ver 2. I have recently upgraded to this version.

If I click in any box the mouse marker should be there in upper left corner.

But it is not longer a problem as I past the text, its the work around I found out.

I would not worry about mouse marker unless no text could be entered. I would not try to use HTML. Yes, you have to click on the text box before entering text.

The rest of the post is confusing because it says I thought paste would work every time, implying it does not work every time. Then post implies the way to work around the problem is to paste the text.

Click on text box. Type. Do not try HTML. HTML seems to be what screws things up - that, or trying to type text without first clicking on text box.

Text box is not upper left corner unless you are now talking about image title and description, which puts us back to square one:
I would have to look this up again, but there are probably character limits on title and description. These are not meant for paragraphs of information. Instead, write an article with the URL to the image, or post your text with an URL to your image.

Once again, please PM me if I do not respond to post in a couple of days.

Hopefully, what follows might explain some things - I don't know...
Here are some of the configuration settings of the Member Gallery:

Max number of lines in a comment 10
Maximum length of a comment 512

In both instances the character limit is 512.
