Well yes I've always wanted - and have previously asked - to 
be able to display a meaningful amount of text for each 
individual picture so as to be able to tell some kind of 
flowing photo story. Trying to do this previously with the 
single paltry (unspecified) line length of text is very hard. 
This thumbnails disaster now makes that even harder as the 
text gets further truncated. People seem to have somehow 
confused this thumbnails thing with the far more important & 
long running clamour for an auto resize function for those 
increasingly frequent monster pics.
