Hi Pedro,
this shouldn't happen, as the caption size is a rather generous 65000 characters (if i recall
correctly)
What happened was that one of your URLs (the AAP one) did "eat up" the rest of your text.
You had a "[url..." start, but an url..."> end (the > wasn't supposed to be there, it should've
been a ]. As a result, the text interpreter tried to turn the last two paragraphs into one
huge URL. Minor cause, major headache ;)
I've fixed it. Please take a look if it's OK now.
Very impressive location, by the way!
I've noticed the pano movements are a bit rough when panning. I'd recommend splitting
the cube faces into tiles, this seems to speed up the processing (since the computer only
needs to work on visible tiles, not the whole cube faces). Me, i'm typically setting the cube
faces to 1908x1908 (odd value, CubicConverter seems to always recommend it, though),
and then 5x5 tiles per cube face. Adds some overhead on the file size, but the smooth
playback (and "tile streaming" effect while loading) to me are worth that penalty.
