Jim & Donna - just curious here, but is it possible to increase the available number of characters for the titles in the galleries? I don't think I choose long titles, but so often I have to cut them short because they just don't fit, especially in the Weekly Challenge gallery; by the time you put WC#? you don't have any room left for your full title. Anyway, just wondering.

BTW, thanks again for this wonderful outlet to keep us adult delinquents off the street! Happy New Year!!

I think we're currently good for 24 characters, including spaces. What, are you guys writing a book on the subject line? :biggrin:

We could, but some not-so-pretty things will happen to the thumbnail pages... :frown:

"We could, but some not-so-pretty things will happen to the thumbnail pages... "

Jim, after I wrote my reply, I looked at ESS and see what you mean. To go with longer titles, the whole page layout would have to be made wider to keep things aligned properly while maintaining four thumbnails across the page.

We would have to make each thumbnail cell taller to allow the title to wrap. We could certainly do that and I don't think it would be a big deal....

It would be nice, Jim, especially when RE-POST is tacked onto a title.

Possibly using a separate cell for the title is the answer.

Cheers and Happy New Year,

Carol
