I added an attachment to a post and added the photo large size.
then below it gave option to change the caption so I did that.
but I noticed only when you click on the attachment that the caption shows.
if I click to enlarge the full size photo inserted into the post it still shows the original caption is this normal?
just curious if I missed something in the large picture that I could have changed it's caption too?

Can you show us an example? I don't mean that we don't believe you, but just that if I can see an example, I might be able to discern why it's doing that.
Is the caption you're talking about something that gets embedded into the photo itself?
Dunno what happened - I posted a reply to this, and now it's gone?
Maybe I screwed it up - still learning. (But I swear I even double-checked the results...)
No biggie. So yeah, I don't see any captions in either of those photos, even when I click to view them full-size. But I guess that's what you're saying - that this photo had a caption when you uploaded it?
Can you send the photo with the caption to me in email? ==> john@jcstudiosinc.com
Or are you talking about the "caption" field that the Forum software prompts you with? I tried that too, but it didn't seem to put the caption anywhere. Perhaps it's a feature they plan for the future, or for premium membership? I don't know...

Captions appear top left of the enlarged photo.
Hmmm. Well, I just tried that, and put the words "My Mug" in the caption for this photo. I can't see it anywhere, and the text to the upper-left is just the name of the photo file.
Not a big deal if you ask me, but just a curiosity. (Are captions covered in the photo tutorial topic? Maybe we ought to go read that again since it's been updated...)

I finally noticed this too, I will just "rename" my selected photo BEFORE I pull it
from my files before I upload to the forum.

Ah-Ha! I figured it out! The caption only appears to the upper-left of the photo if you click to enlarge the smaller thumbnail - not when you click the embedded photo itself.
John
I see the caption from the attachment or the photo when clicked on

By the way, Rich, this is one thing I LOVE about the new forum, the posting of larger size photos. Lots more detail for railfans, and modelers to see in the large versions!
Now on to learning how to modify some of my videos to meet the 100mb limit to post some on the forum.
