How do I configure the forum to allow users to post images they download onto the forum to be displayed in the posts?

It seems very confusing to a user, to have to upload pictures first, in the gallery, and then make a new post which displays the picture with a question or something.

It seems like the file manager can attach files to the post, but then the user has to click on the file to see it.

I'm wondering where to find a configuration or an add-on or something..

Thanks!

i coded an add-on for quite a few sites now that allow uploading directly into a post

that is the latest one, where they wrote an article about it

but from standard stock threads, you'd need to either link to external images, attach to your post or use the gallery..

:2c:

Sweet dude, THAT is what I want, THANKS a ton.

The users will have to click on the file if it's larger than the specified filesize limit in the control panel for inline images. By default this is pretty small, so you'd need to update it if you normally have larger pictures.

LOL, I jumped the gun on that. So I wouldn't be able to do this myself, no link to a tutorial on adding this?

Will this feature be included in v8 ?

I see that there is also an add on called photopost... any reviews on that?

We run Photopost over at the Monte Club. You can check it out at http://www.firstgenmc.com/photopost/ We have been using it for a little over a year and the members love it. It was pretty easy to add to the site, and I have it pulling random images to display on the forum.

yah, photopost works great and you can integrate the sign on with your UBB.threads

good stuff
