Side note: you've...Side note: you've uncovered a cool yet problematic feature of the blog site. You can upload a very long picture and the entire picture will show in the Dashboard and flood your screen. Is this good or bad?

Or, limit the size of uploaded pictures for banners. You can instead allow embedded pictures in the content of the post?
P.S Alex: We discussed this in our last meeting, but I added something rather important to my sibling comment through editing and realize you wouldn't get an email. But since it's truncated to ~150 characters you might not realize.
But when clicking on the link, you obviously get the most updated text. In other words, the email is "stale" content. A bigger probelm presents itself when the edited comment (or in general Node.) is completely different than what the email says; if it was completely changed.
I was just reading about Hacker News and an implementation which discusses this difficult to handle weakness of editing comments, which tends to mess with systems such as pinning as well. (Imagine you want to return to someone's else thought, pin it, and when you return it was edited to be completely different.)

Understood. Something to discuss but I'm not so concerned about this particular detail. I think there are other ways to handle it such as allowing a user that intends to copy content to simple create a copy of the node as their own with an attribution. Pinning means you want to keep track of that actual comment because the thread itself would interest you. So there is a distinction. I think simply sending emails again when the original owner edits the comment is sufficient. But only if changes are made after a certain period of time like 1 hour.

See, that is actually an embedded image (not a banner.) I'll switch it now, and it should clip on the left hand side in a unreasonable way.
Edited: added "un" to reasonable
Need to code for a very small aspect ratio. I also want to take large resolution landscape images and make them take up much more horizontal space. (Similar to Medium.)

I see what you mean now.
Side note: It is a bit confusing to bring people to the permalink of a particular comment without any reference to what it's commenting on. Is it possible for you to add a copy of the Root (parent) comment content to the permalinks? I think this would considerably reduce confusion.
