Instead of allowing hotllinks to images can the forum have an upload attachment feature with say a 100k limit? Embedded images are killing the forums for me!

Sorry but removing linking of images would bring the forum back to the 1990's and this was the biggest thing we wanted before the switchover.

I see no reason they should remove this.

If you're using Firefox this works great.
Images won't load in a thread but you can right click & load them individually if you want.

Personally I voted to keep inline images disabled, but I was outvoted and overruled at the same time.

In any case, having uploadable images is just a huge bag of worms for us, so it's not going to happen.

I use MyIE2 and if i want i can disable Images on whatever tab i am on.. (All Images dont load then)

What really bogs my browser down is EMBEDDED YOUTUBE VIDS (Cause it is FLASH) -- I am glad i can disable flash also!
