I would suggest a way to have bigger pictures in news articles. Ie, have the thumbnails, in the normal article, but have some 'click to enlarge' or something. That way, renders and informative images are way, way easiert to see, and the visual element can help images; you could have text like 'as can be seen in the image to the left, damage to the interstage of this F9 was a bit heavier then expected; sources tell us it might be replaced'Or- actually showing something that is talked about, ie the connection point for the SLS booster being given a new paintjob.Tldr; bigger images in the news section.
And there's the other suggestion of captions, although we add the images with the text around them. Such as we know we're talking about the satellite, guess what, that's an image of the satellite. Not sure what adding a caption saying "The JCSAT-16 Satellite" adds.
So fire away with ideas.
1) Make images clickable to make them bigger. I would note a lot of times the source image isn't all that much bigger, so not sure how that would work.2) Have images bigger from the start, across the width of the text. Some sites do that.
Okay dokey. Captions are wanted. I did get a PM about a caption plug in for our CMS so I'll look at that. PS I'll create a test article (dated 2005 or something so it won't show to anyone else other than the link it'll create and I'll post in here, to work on these things. So there will be a physical article to see the changes as we make them on this particular subject.
Can you add a link at the bottom of articles to the discussion thread? If it isn't listed in the recent forum posts it would be easier to find it.
I made this suggestion in the logo thread: A different background behind "same logo" for each forum section:For example, Historical behind NASASPACEFLIGHT a photo or graphic of Apollo on the Moon's surface...etc Oh Nathan
