[alt text: a two panel comic. In the first panel, a doctor is talking to a patient, and the patient is holding her head. The doctor is saying, "Does it hurt?", and the woman is replying, "Yes...". In the second panel, the doctor is replying, "Keep your cat inside or I'll punch you again". ]

there is a new "alt text" box when i am posting, and I entered that alt text, but it doesn't seem like that alt text is showing up anywhere. Any clues about this?

if you right click --> inspect the image, your alt text should appear in the html markup. I'm not seeing any for the above image (alt = ""). This might be a bug with your lemmy client? can you show us a screenshot of your alt text when you post the image?

thank you for that check. here's what i am seeing on browser:

Beehaw just did a version upgrade last night, so there could be some server weirdness still.

I see your image with the alt text but the thumbnail is broken: https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/f92564ff-df84-43f5-93d6-17c1d4772535.png?format=webp&thumbnail=1024

please report this to beehaw support staff

Reported; fixed now. Looking into the alt text issue now.

[–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The alt text is showing up as your post body, for me on https://beehaw.org/ through a web browser. I am not certain how other apps or front ends show it.

Hi Penguin, the alt text in the body was added by me after the fact. That alt text is actually the body text if the post, the image itself apparently has no alt text.

And hawks. There have been posters all over my neighborhood for a missing cat and they keep putting them up. I've seen those hawks in action and nothing they can catch stands a chance.
