Good afternoon helpful Moderators,

We recently transferred from YahooGroups and all went very smoothly and anxieties were addressed generously by the Moderators of this group, thank you again.

1)
Photo descriptions
There are a number of members who "swear" that they remember descriptions on the photos when in YG and those descriptions not transferred over.
I have checked, laboriously one by one against the YG albums and it seems to me that those photos with descriptions did carry over with the same descriptions.
> Do you know if in the past YG dropped "descriptions" in their albums ? <

2)
In Groups.io it seems only moderators or owners can edit or post descriptions under the photos.
As our group is made up of "Old Boys" from school days some 50 years ago, a description of who's who in an old photo is really necessary !
> Is there any way to allow ALL the members to edit / post photo descriptions? <
e.g. one person uploads a photo, can only name one person and other individual members can name others, or location or date etc. and thus collaborate to make the albums more meaningful ?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide to address this request.

Sincerely

Alan D

This has been on the TODO list for almost 5 years, ? Obviously not a high priority. ;>)? At present, the best work around is to name the photos carefully, then discuss them in a Topic.? It's best to NOT use a direct link to a photo because the addressing can change when any are added or deleted.? There's not (yet) a permalink to each photo.
