I think that might be a bad thing, considering you got Mrs. McToilet, Mayor McToilet and bUnChOFfux running around here....... plus you would lose some of the speed of the message board. hyperlinks are fine I think.
Here is a way you can link to a picture and open up a new window in your browser.
example:
< a href="http://www.apple.com" target=_blank>Apple
no space after the bracket (<) though
Apple

It would have a severe impact on the speed and badnwidth-usage of the messageboard, i'm sure. And i also wouldn't to open up a topic and have some fucked up/disgusting image in front of me, knowing the lot of you. ;)

hm. if you've got problems paying for the bandwidth, this doesn't sound like a good idea. but you could add loading of images on external sites.
on an off note.. being on a university, problems with bandwidth seems so weird. we've got too much of it here.

Yeah, but Phob should have oodles of bandwidth now that XLtronic is on a dedicated server.
The best way Phob and Tune could implement this is to provide a thumbnail image in the thread (generated by PHP's GD library) and that way only small, no larger than the avatar-sized images would load, and IF people were curious enough about the image, they could click the image to launch a fitted window around the full size image (also making sure there are upload size limits, both in terms of pixels and kb). I think it would be a great addition to an already great board.

There's lots of mods around to snuff out .jpg offenders, I don't think there'd be too many problems... except from our lovable resident troll... other than that, I'd like being able to post pics.

The reason for broken pics on my board was due to my (ex)hosting company moving the site to a 'lockbox' server. All will be corrected once we move to the new server. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Editing posts would be nice here (I've suggested it for ages), and if Phob is worried about people editing their posts to cover up arguements, etc. there could be a default time limit to edit, say within 5 minutes after a message is posted it can be edited, after that it locks. PHPBB2 has this feature on some of the other sites I visit and I really like it as it allows people to correct silly errors, etc. but also keeps the integrity of the messageboard intact.
Since this is a custom-scripted board, the sky's the limit with what Tune and Phob can do - great job guys!

I can edit my posts. Whenever I make a spelling mistake or something, I cut and paste my message, click on delete, then fix the offending embarrasing raping of the english language... and re-post.

If you get concerned about what people may post, only give people who donate some money picture priveleges or something like that. Or they have to reach a certain number of post before they came post pictures...

Agreed - that would be a great way to inspire people to donate to the site, AND keep trolls from posting offensive material on the site - just make sure if you do implement this you clearly state donating is not paying so you can post anything you want - there still should be guidelines.

That is a damn good idea. Encourage people to donate and ... oh wait ... what about rich trolls?!?!
well, I guess you could just ban them over and over and make them donate each time they want to make a new account or get their picture priviledge back =)

Yes, but just don't bundle 'essential' features with the memberships that would not allow regular 'free' visitors features any mb/site should have - there is nothing easier to alienate users is by 'teasing' them with features they should have from the start.
I'm sure the xltronic crew will implement things just fine!

My question about editing was just me trying to make fun of Phobiazeros little "abdnwith" fuck up (that he edited) as indiskrete and subtle as possible. =)
I think Phobia Understood that , smart man as he is (i also have many subtle ways of sucking up! )
Of course with this post i ruined it...
