Show title/url under clickable images & image border so users know it's clickable

cryptocowgirl (45) in utopian-io • 7 years ago

As a user, I want to know when a blog image is clickable so that I know I can click the image to visit a link.

Currently, there is no way to tell when an image is clickable because there isn't a URL, link, or other "clickable" indicator.

Here is a sample blog with an image that is clickable but it's not clear because there is no link or title: https://steemit.com/dtube/@ura-soul/qqky6jwf#@ura-soul/re-cryptocowgirl-re-cryptocowgirl-re-ura-soul-re-cryptocowgirl-re-ura-soul-qqky6jwf-20171207t192751849z

The URL the image linked to:

^Visual of how clickable images could appear "more clickable."

I suppose if you want to rely on the possibility that someone's mouse happens to hover over the image and the possibility that they happen to notice and say "Oh - it's clickable because I noticed my mouse arrow turned into a finger."

But most people (myself included) will breeze right past it because it simply looks like a static image. It's an inferior and unfamiliar experience (check out how images are treated in the most popular social media platforms). And what if you're on mobile? Perhaps this improvement shouldn't be a priority, but it should DEFINITELY be in the queue.
