Insert Image Button kinda sucks

[AnonymousOne]

The "Insert Image" Button does this ridiculous attachment thing. Can't we just have people do outside hosting and turn that button into the [img] tags?

See the related thread (http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?368-Posting-a-big-ol-photo-in-a-thread) in the Help section. Read carefully, this question has already been answered there.

Actually if you read that thread and then read my question, no it has not been answered.

My question is "why is there not an [IMG] shortcut button?" If I have to go into the uploader and click other shit to make this work then it's not worth it. I know that there is a way to add the [IMG] button. I want to know why that was subbed out for this bizarre attachment service.

I'm happy to continue to host my stuff off of imgur and manually link it, it just seems awkward.

I can't answer your question of "why". I didn't write the software. This is vBulletin version 4.1 "out of the box".

a1, imgur offers "bbcode (message boards & forums)"

i'm not sure if that addresses the concern, but does that help at all?

Or stop being lazy and just type blababababbaba yourself.

This is the feedback thread...

Feedback noted. Lack of "classic" BBCODE items such as IMG sucks. Got it.

Closing this now before it derails.
