Now that's clear. Tell me Geoff... Howcome it had to come to this email for
me to know what it means in the given context? :-)
Someone else replied to this issue I raised with 'You should have known,
EVERYBODY knows that !' . I hope he was just saying that because he was
pi$$ed off with me, because if not, he represents the classic case of a
programmer who has no clue of who his audience is.
I strongly recommend him reading David S. Platt's book 'Why Software Sucks
... And What You Can Do About It'.

There is no need of an alternative suggestion. All I am saying is, that
there is need of some sort of suggestion. A hint. Put the explanation you
gave me here in the page itself ! Surely you do not expect your users to
first attend a course, or read the manual before they can add an image ?

Fair enough. Add (as admin) a new image to the library. Then, when presented
with the list of images, tick the one you just added, click the 'approve'
button, add comments and hit submit.
Someone else replied to this issue with saying. 'Oh, you clicked cancel
instead of submit that's why it was not approved!'... All I can say to that
is: Please read David S. Platt's book 'Why Software Sucks ... And What You
Can Do About It', and see if you recognise yourself in some of the
programmers he talks about.
