Hey guys. So I make this post to suggest something. There are people here who do lovely screenshot recaps or outfit recaps for each ep of whatever show they are following. I appreciate that. However, not everyone is up to date on every drama that is airing & such things can be spoilers for them. It also gets a bit exhausting to scroll through so many pages of it. I would like to suggest making one major post about it, & then posting everything related to that ep in its comments, if you are going to make a lot of them. For example, like this – http://www.dramabeans.com/members/leetennant/activity/817831/ (borrowing your post @leetennant)

Also, for people who don’t know how to post gifs & pics in comments, all you need to do is upload the media on another site (I use giphy for gifs), get its direct link (i.e. link ending with .gif/.png/.jpg etc.), & use it with this html code:-

And there you have it! You can use that as many times as you want to attach gifs or pics to your comments, you can also use it to add media in between text on main posts, or have the gifs move automatically on your post without needing to to be clicked on first, & don’t have to rely on DB’s add photo feature anymore! If you feel restricted by the character limit, write everything down somewhere else & just copy & paste it (using your mouse & not the keyboard shortcuts). Remember not to make edits after you have pasted it cause then everything gets erased & you will have to paste it again.

I hope nobody feels like this is a request for people to censor themselves. That is NOT what this is about. Nobody is telling you not to post. Post to your heart’s content. This is a blog made for expressing our love for dramas & everyone has equal right to that. This is just a request for organizing it in a way that is beneficial to everyone. Kumawo~

    On the other hand, I’ve seen sites where links have been broken somehow and the intended pics are gone.

    Follow enough computer news and you’ll hear of pic/vid hosting sites and have closed, changed their terms (like starting to charge) or locked-out/deleted pics from free accounts.

    Use a 3rd party site and your pics/gifs are hostage. Use your own site and —- well you have to have one and better have good security.

    Not particularly on anyone’s side of this situation, just playing devil’s advocate:

    1. not everyone is as tech/computer/coding/URL savvy to make posts and pictures work in the comments section all the time. I know I can’t do it, and it frustrates me to no end

    2. The Beanies section was sort of made for spoilers. It’s the space of this site where we can post spoilers instead of in the comments section of the actual recaps (it’s actually against the site policy to post spoilers in the recaps, http://www.dramabeans.com/about/commenting-policy/ ), is as well as for dramas without recaps or open threads. It’s the only space that we can feel free to post whatever, whenever 🤷🏻‍♀️
    It’s not pleasant and not the beat to have to keep scrolling threw a few pages here and there to avoid potential spoilers to a drama that you as an individual have not finished, but it’s not something that is impossible, and making such “spoiler” posts in the Beanies Section isn’t against site policy, either 🤔🤔 It’s just a matter of preference
