Can image quoting please be dealt with? Seeing the same image quoted several times in one page is incredibly irritating.
 
I suggest that any quoted images be dimensionally constrained to maybe 250px high (max), so we can see the pic referred to but not have endure the scrolling of large ones.

Damn, you and your bro are forum nazis.

Anyway, the idea above is a great one about shrinking down any quoted images. I have no problem with and like to see some image quoting, it maintains continuity of the initial post.
 
I agree with OP. This is akin to excessive nesting in FT, but more annoying because the images can easily take up a lot more room than quotes.

Users can easily edit out images in quotes, and replace with descriptor (or [IMAGE REMOVED] text) for image-only quotes.

I don't think it needs to be a hard and fast rule, but maybe a polite suggestion in a stickied "Welcome to AnandTech" thread or something?
 
Resizing the quoted images should be the only thing done but then again that should be done with any image too large.
 
I think this is a good idea, just make it so it shows the link to the image instead.

I like inline images so don't disable them totally, just in quotes.
