i just noticed that the image manager does actually downsize the pictures. really cool! as a consequence i wanted to change the input form such that the default width of an image is 400. apparently, the this.input macro doesn't have a optional parameter for default (and no "hidden" option, too). but then, i don't really need this macro, do i? i could just create a custom form to fit my need.

what is the idea of these complicated macros, if i could easily get along without them? the same could be said about the prefix and suffix options. why should i use them rather than writing the HTML fragment before or after the macro?

where can i find the skin for a new story? i would like to enable the "is online" checkbox by default or hide this feature completely.
