Quoted image attachments don't render

[AtariAge]

I've noticed that on my 3.0.2 forum (only been running it a few days now) that when I quote an inline image attachment from another post, the attachment does not render in my quoted post. Instead I just see an icon and the filename of the attachment:



Hmm, I did a test in the test forum and it does the same thing here. I don't really like this behavior--was this changed intentionally?

I love that behavior.! Nothing more annoying then someone posting 5 images....then the next 10 people quote the first and I have 3 pages of the same images that I seen in the topic starters post.

I'm relatively sure it was intentional. Just hard to remember specifics.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with attachments not rendering properly on subsequent pages of a thread? That is, if you quoted an image attachment on a later page of the thread, you'd just see the bbcode tags for the attachment and not the actual image. I personally prefer to see the image when quoted, but I can also understand people not wanting to see the same image multiple times on the page. Would be nice as an option.

IIRC, the inability to check view permissions on subsequent pages played a large role in just linking to it.

Yeah, it is done this way for subsequent pages views for both the reason you and Brandon D said. I don't think it's really feasible to have an option to show the full image, due to the permission setup, at least not without a lot of overhead. I don't recall the exact specifics of the permission issue now, but I do remember this coming up, because we originally intended to show the attachment normally.

If you want to see the original attachment, just view the original post. :D

Obviously. :rolleyes: But that's not what I was asking, so your post isn't particularly helpful.

Thanks, I'll have to dig through old forum posts to see if I can find the original discussion(s) about this.
