The problem with this and many other B5 caps from that era is that Alex G did most of the archiving. The method he used saved the picture AND caption as a jpg, meaning that even if his site were still online, you couldn't text search them. --Mr Grant 22:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- If somebody could link to Alex' gallery so other concerned parties could sift through for an example caption, it'd be acceptable to post "text graphics" here. And if pages with caps like that were tagged with a "textgraphic" category, another concerned party might get around to clipping them and turning them into proper captions. Wiki!
- p.s. the "screengrab caption gallery" was #5 of 6 on my list of caption gallery pet peeves. It's one of the reasons I broke down and gave the simplified "my picks" version of the favorites page on IS, so gallery keepers could just vote for the caps they wanted, and then harves tthe html from that page pretty easily. --GersonK 13:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
