The eBay forum fiddlers have been fiddling.

One must now enter at least 10 characters or the post will grumble angrily in red and refuse to do anything.

I noticed that yesterday.

They obviously don't want us to just post pics, but must have text now.

[papermoon.lady]

You are right. I just tried.

This a a clear attack against posts containing a simple, meaningful LOL.

Does this mean that we have to write something when posting an image?

I can't try because I have reached my maximum of 1000 images again and am not in the mood to delete one just to try...

Resting on the job

(Yes, a picture counts for nothing in the character count. I can also confirm that HTML code counts for nothing. It’s 10 text characters or you can’t post.)

[arctoph_49]

Yes, we now have to type something...

[papermoon.lady]

I guess they have never heard the adage "A picture is worth a thousand words"...

Not to mention that sometimes it is really better not to add an explanation, like in the thread with weird photos.

[arctoph_49]

Yes, that thread in particular. Maybe we can just add something like "photo taken in (the year)" (if known). Explaining would indeed ruin the weirdness.

[countessalmirena]

A simple Image above meets the required number of characters and could be used wherever required.

[arctoph_49]

Or... for cats or dogs... just some hearts above and below if they are cute images. They are characters too.
