Oh, yes, it was called "Image Sets" for about two months before it was changed.
Just because it doesn't meet your definition of "helpful" doesn't mean that others feel likewise. If I were researching these Amaryllis cultivars, then I would find it helpful as a comparison shot. That has been an acceptable use of the feature for years. If that has changed recently, then I haven't seen it posted anywhere.
Since Cwhitt went through the proper steps of linking the cultivars to the database, the photo will appear on the plant database page for both cultivars. If uploaded separately to each database page, then the server would have two duplicate photos hogging up server space. If a photo featured many plants, such as 20, then that method would use twenty times the server space.
The only photos that seem nearly useless to me are the ones that don't feature plants (obviously) or photos that haven't been linked to the plant database. The unlinked photos can't be accessed via the plant database and, with no other reasonable way to search for or access them, end up just getting buried in newer submissions.
Unfortunately, this feature has been a problem child for years.
I have to ask, was the dropped "e" a typo or a pun?
"...Amarillys forum scapes me."
