If i add a picture no text appears.

I do not understand trhis (in simple mode)

Why is it EITHER /OR

Why does the addition a picture require you to choose from a limited # of focuses?

    I do not understand. If we add a button it will still only be a reply? How to distinguish from tarnslations and comments in another language?

    There is a warning about this in the box where you enter the picture filename: Alternatively, upload a file (formats supported: jpg, png, gif, pdf, ogg, mp3, mpeg, avi, wmv, torrent, asf) The word alternatively indicates that it’s an alternative to entering text.

    • I do not understand this (in simple mode) Why is it EITHER /OR

    The reason why is, i think, due to simplicity. Loading text or an image as a single item for the whole information storage structure (database) is simple than loading a complex item including both text and photo/audio/video. So first you publish e.g. text and then you add a photo as a comment. Or vice versa. Without any restrictions for further adding text or photos/audio/video.

    It is not required. “Add another focus” is an optional action.

    This refers to the ADD TRANSLATION button proposal: ADD TRANSLATION button – a button which says ‘add translation’ but in reality its technical function is exactly identical to ‘reply’, unless the user has logged in. If the user has logged in, then “relating” the reply to the Translation focus (step 5 of http://japan.axxs.org/5009) will be done automatically.

    If the user has logged in, then according to the proposal, “relating” the reply to the Translation focus (step 5 of How do I publish a translation?) will be done automatically , i.e. it will be considered afterwards to be a translation.

    If the user has not logged in (i.e. is anonymous), then someone (anyone with a login, s/he does not need to be a moderator) has to “clean up” by doing step 5 of …
