Agreed. This is the main thing that has been missing from this forum: an easy way to add/manage pictures to a posting. If I want to attach more than 1 image, I use an image hosting service but for many of my early postings the images are long gone.

I have installed a new WYSIWYG editor that allows you to copy and paste images inline without havign to upload. It uses IMGUR automatically.
At first I thought this was not a good idea, but it's real easy to use, and if you absolutely want the image stored on the EEVblog server then you go to the trouble to upload it.

Testing quotes.. [edit] They work but look ugly in the editor. It's fine. 


But also, if Imgur ever goes away, this will result in us losing all the photos uploaded to that service.
Not great for old threads one wants to go back to years if not decades later.

Not true. Attachments work fine, it's just the inline image thing we have a problem with, so it's a manual workaround.

Dave, it's attachments in PM we are talking about, it's not possible, there's no option to add an attachment to a PM.

Heaps of people use Imgur on the forum anyway, I even do it myself.
The problem always remains that if we store inline images locally then the server will slowly become overloaded with image storage. It's why we have strict image size and number requirements for posts.
