Possible bug in edit feature?
In a post I made earlier today, I mistakenly placed an image link into the optional link URL field instead of the optional image URL field. I edited the message to fix the error. After I made the correction and hit the "Preview" button, everything looked fine so I then hit the "Update message" button. The resulting page showed the "Picture Verification" message at the top, but my pic appeared twice, my original text was gone, and the text edit box down below contained not my original text, but the link of the image. After that point, no matter if I hit the Preview button or the Update message button, I end up with the same page and double image. My post was never successfully edited.

The bug occurs whenever editing a post with a picture...
What happens is this:
Whenever you attempt to edit a post with a picture, the URL for the picture disappears from the "Optional Image URL" field and the software instead replaces the ENTIRE text of the posting with the HTML code to display the picture. If you then re-enter the image URL in the "Optional Image URL" box, the verification page will then display the picture twice, as the message text will then contain TWO copies of the HTML code to display the pictures.
Making this even worse, there is NO way to then post the change, because if you try to re-edit the message to correct things (e.g. to put the text the software just clobbered with the HTML code to show your picture or to delete the second copy of the picture), the software will re-display the message for verification and clobber the changes you just made...
