Ok - how about this caveat :) Critiques of the images in the Critique Forum are to be made within the "Critique Forum Image Thread Only"- Not within the Gallery Comment Section This will eliminate the need for a critique genre, as well as not creating additional gallery comments (which may or may not pretain to the image once the work is critiqued and the image re-edited). As to the thumbnails and link to the image (as mentioned above by catlin_mc) - I still think this is the best way to go. If you spilt your screen (opening a window with the Image and window in the Critique Forum) You can still view the image, yet still comment within the Critique Forum :) ladynimue
