If I couldn't fly by the seat of my pants and fix/tweak it along the way, I couldn't work as a programmer, and 90% of the features we have wouldn't exist.

I hadn't realized that your approach was intentional, either. That explains the instability during the redesign, which I found befuddling.

You know, or maybe you don't, "us" old-school professional programmers are accustomed to a standard where you don't go live until it's bug free and where you are paid to anticipate "fools," where, if you haven't gotten the few little kinks out of even a major effort within maybe an hour of going live, you've failed miserably.

I may be mistaken but I thought I pointed out that it was only partially done when implemented.

So if you're going to vary from that tradition, which is certainly your prerogative and somewhat understandable for small enhancements like the one for images, it might be wise to not only anticipate that reaction from the old-schoolers in the community, which you apparently did, but be reconciled to the reaction when you get it. We have in our community not only "fools" but former professionals.

I haven't tried this new feature. I don't anticipate a use for it. But I expect to use the imbedded image feature when it becomes available. I think that will be very useful. Thanks.
