I am using the everybody can add photos option on my site because I do not want my users to have to go through a login panel to upload images. However there does not seem to be a way to allow them to attach a description (caption) with their photos when they upload???? I looked to see if there was an option in permissions that would allow them to do after uploading.....there is an option where I could allow them to "change album text" however this gives them too broad capabilities (change album description, etc). I find it hard to beleive this program does not have ability to allow users to attach a caption with their photos when they upload!!!???? Am I missing something somewhere?

Nope, there's no feature to set the caption when you upload the image.

Any of the umpteen thousand people who have the source code could
write that feature, though.

What?
Of course theres a feature, I wrote it!:D Jeez thanks for the props bharat! :sad: (jk)
I posted the new patch on the customization section of the forums a while back, and I also added it to the User guide. Has been working flawlessly for me for a while now. My script also alows entry of emails and web addresses (both of which get automagically hotlinked if entered), Also a spot for their name. All of which gets attached to the caption.

Would love to hear any feedback if you use it

Just the feature I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

Now if I could just get a mod to limit file size my users can upload...this product would be golden!!!! I can't have people uploading any size file they feel like!!!!!
