Mike, I think I once heard that one's own hits don't add to the tally...(you can also look at "my photos" and then "comments to my photos" which will help you to deal with comment to older shots) And thank you for the comment on the info. I belong to the posters who think if there is nothing to tell about a ship, then there is no reason to post a picture of it
and I am also in great favour of adding the desription section next to the thumbnail...may be in future, who knows.
