This is kind of technical, but on forums where I have a lot of pictures to post I usually put them in a table, with a caption beside each one. I just tried that in the Paddling section, and it...

I'm sorry that you had to endure such a miserable incident, Tbutler. For the loss itself, and for the way it makes us think about our fellow humans. Out in the woods and on the water, we want to...

Or dis-organized ones?
