I must be missing something...

Sir Dude has(had) a UBB modification that implements inline photo upload, re-size, and display.

He essentially uses a variation of the UBB Gallery capability and ImageMagick capability to upload, re-size, and store images and then puts the image URL into img tags in the post.

There is no benefit to storing and transporting big images if the only use is inline image display in a post. We can control the maximum upload size (before resize) and other parms.

There is one issue yet to be resolved where iPhone and iPad pictures with orientation data in EXIF will display pictures properly inline using Safari but not in other browsers. We need to add some parameters to strip out some of the EXIF orientation data in ImageMagick as part of the re-size.

Images are stored in monthly gallery sub-folders so it is easier for system admins to locate images.

The mod has been great and our users love it.
