How can I turn off attachments in Gallery editor

I think my members are the dumbest on the planet.

When uploading images they are using attachments to insert the image they THINK they are uploading to a gallery album. They also do this when attempting to insert a video link in @Mike John's Videos application -- they put the video link in the editor instead of in the Video URL field. Ugghhh.

Is there a way I can remove the Insert other media button from the editor there?

I agree for the first post (not the comments) remove the ability to upload images, in databases and in Gallery. Gallery is to upload to the Gallery and users can become confused and add to posts here, and in databases, we use the image fields, with the editor it takes that control away.

As @Joel R pointed out after I made that request for databases, the same problem exists for Gallery.

We should at least have a setting.

Don't worry.  My members have uploaded the entire album in the description, ha.  

It makes for a very awkward layout.

Im thinking to get rid of the gallery full stop.  Ive mentioned elswhere that we might just as well create a forum and let them add attachments and discussion about them as a topic. Gallery will cause complete chaos for sure ...

Try editing your language file until IPS can address.

Maybe at step 3 where it says Add Information, under it, in red text put:

Do not upload Gallery images here
Images here appear in description only

or similar

Search languages for Add Information. If more than one comes up make sure it is for Gallery uploading. Edit file, add line break after Add Information, add red text message.

cant do it cos when ive got the translation tool functioning my gallery doesnt even work

What about a plugin to avoid adding attachments to album description?

This is great. Would be good if you could remove the Insert Other Media button too.

This would be great also
