Be respectful and if you share an image edit it to add a caption to help people know what it is

@Isa
These messages are helpful, but they don't say how to actually perform that action.

Please, with this kind of messaging, give us clear instructions!!

Spent a minute working it out. When you attach an image to a post, at the bottom there is a line that says "No description added." Click on that line to add a caption/description.

This, IMO, is not very clear and could be improved. It's not obvious to a new user that you can click that text to add a caption or description.

@Isa As someone who has had to direct their Dad, over the phone, on how to do computer things, I've learnt the value of clear and simple instructions.

Bad instruction: "Click the 'Okay' button."

Good instruction: "In the centre of your screen, you should see a message asking if you wish to confirm your action. At the bottom of that message is a button marked 'Okay'. Click on that button to continue."
