Techie question- for Phil?

I've noticed that when I post caps in rows of five they seem to preview and show on the actual post OK, but when I subsequently return to them for checking purposes etc.some of them have suddenly regrouped themselves into threes.
I find this irrationally irritating [or, only slightly rationally but quite Nietzschean-ly, I view it as an impertinent machine's challenge to my never-to-be-gainsaid Human Will...].

Could I avoid this insupportable flouting of my commands by posting rows of four?
Why does it happen, anyway?

And don't just say the machines have taken over. I already know that.
Smug cybernetic bastards. We should melt them all back into silica.

Not the machine but me.

It's because I've edited your posts so that I don't have to scroll horizontally. When you put the pics in long rows, the lines of text also get longer and this makes the post difficult to read. Rows of four also take the text slightly off screen to the right, though the pictures can be clicked on without scrolling.

I'd been meaning to mention this but hadn't got round to it.

So four's OK? [three, and I'd be the one doing mega-scrolling- but I don't suppose you care about that] :- ((

I'm relieved it's not those damn' machines again......

...I'll also hit the return-key rather than letting the text get to the end of the line [as it were].

The point is that if you have a paragraph of text several lines long, you have to scroll horizontally every line.

Four pics should be OK. Thanks.
