The Offshore Voyaging Reference Site

Comment Editing And Image Upload Fixed

Web sites, particularly ones as feature rich as AAC, are a lot like cruising boats: a home for the law of unintended consequences. Fix one thing, and break something else.

A few weeks ago, as part of my never ending campaign to keep the site fast loading, I subsetted the icon font to make it smaller, and in so doing busted two comment features:

  • Edit our own comments.
  • Upload a photograph to our own comments.

Both are now fixed, and in addition I increased the edit time to 30 minutes, from 15, and the maximum image size to two megabytes, from one.

See the above image for tips on how to use these features, or visit our comment tips page for more detailed instructions.

Please leave a comment here if you find anything else I busted.

Unfortunately, the limitation that images can only be uploaded on Articles and Chapters, but not Tips, is still in place, but I plan to work on that in the coming weeks.
