Why must we reenter text when image is too big?

[+donbadabon]

When uploading an image for the Travel Bug section, the images must be around 100k. After filling out the text that will be displayed on the travel bug page, if the image is greater than 100k in size (or even 98k in my case), an error screen is displayed stating the image was too big. So we resize the image, but we have to re-enter all the text again.

Can the page be updated to remember what we had entered so we don't have to do it again?

BTW I am using Mozilla, so maybe IE doesn't lose it?

What if you went ahead and accepted all of the text, skipping the image upload, and then come back and do that as an "edit"?

 

Just a thought.

I won't post an image if it is over 90k. This method has worked, for me, 100% of the time. Since, I know the size of file that I am uploading before I submit it, I know that I will not have to re-enter the text.

I'd like to know why I can post pictures larger than 100K on a benchmark page and it will automatically be resized, but that doesn't happen on the cache pages?
