  How to put images in comments through a gallery as we have in the pages?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Videos from YouTube work, but we can not include images in comments on wp.com blogs.

  In fact, the only shortcode (which is how galleries here on wp.com function) that can be used in comments is the shortcode for YouTube.

  It would be interesting feature if we could do that on wordpress.com. Too bad

  Shortcode could be a way wp.com could control upload sizes in comments.

  As for displaying pictures, consider that images could be uploaded as unrealistic huge files unless there was some way to regulate file size (not to mention display size). Large files eat up a lot of space (ie: waste), and oversized images could cause formatting issues with theme layout. So unless wp develops a shortcode to display images in comments, don’t hold your breath.

  Linking to pictures works very well…
