Fans of this feature may have noticed that there were no captions accompanying most of the photos for the past couple of weeks. Also, those using Safari didn’t see most of the photos at all. Chrome and Firefox at least showed the photos. This is all because of our platform transition. We’re working on fixing it but in the meantime here are this week’s captions.
