Description and Header

I was really extremely surprised to find that 23hq does NOT have both a header and a description for each uploaded image.
This is crucial for a good foto-site in my opinion. I cannot use it as it is. It makes me doubt if I should stay with 23 and reconsider going with flickr.
Pretty sad, because I already spent a lot of time on my albums and such.

Hey Julius,
For my first six year of driving, every car I ever drove had a clutch pedal, a brake pedal and gas pedal -- by convention this is how I thought a car should work. This obviously confused me when I first had to drive a car with automatic transmission -- however, I was able to drive the car quite confortably once I figured out that design choiced of the car manufacturer didn't really inhibit my ability to get the car from A to B.
On 23, we've decided that the forced division between title and description isn't really helpful. We do however make sure that only the first line of the "Words" are shown on overviews and so on.

Even though I can somewhat understand 'trying to be different', the way you apply that philosophy (if it even is one) forces the users to not make the description long, plus it makes the description less valuable or catchy, or even interesting at all. It is almost as if you're saying the description is useless info, while it is THE reason people find your image in Google. tags are not very helpful as a replacement in my opinion, they are merely an addition.
I honestly think you should change that, copy that from the way flickr does it. It's the only thing that bothers me on 23hq.
Again, it is the thing making me leave 23hq. It was fun while it lasted.
