Raphael (Raffy's) Adventures

How do you manage to just add Raffy's name in the competition? Every time i do that it won't let me post and says that i need to add at least 10 characters.

You just type the name as you do with a post normally. But then because I add the photo text that probably counts as extra text (as opposed to adding a link). When you upload the photo via the Advanced button, you then insert the photo via the paperclip - what that does is put a bunch of text in the message box. Then when you post the post, the picture appears where the bunch of text was.

I know it's a techy hassle for you uploading them on the forum - but it's actually quite quick and easy. The fiddly bit is resizing the photos for uploading.

If you have another way of uploading the photos and it says the text is too short - maybe just add a bit more. Like the hamsters name - then a dash then "Syrian hamster" or something afterwards.

Yes, that is too technical for me but thanks anyway. I'll just add more letters. I've never figured out this whole resizing business but the phone does resizing of some sort.
