I posted the bugs on the support forum, but last post for that plugin was 2017

It has been around for a fair number of years and the developer of it has kept it up to date with newer versions. https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4087

Doesn't work, errors on install.

It is possible another mod and in particular the SMF Packs one conflicts with it. With the mods if they add or subtract bits from the base code trying to add a later mod will look for those prior to install so  :-// but that is most likely.

As the mod is an SMF Hacks one generally he doesn't show the code in the open in most cases. If you still have the downloaded mod email it my way and I am happy to take a look at it.

Depending on the long awaited NON Beta release of 2.1X  :horse: some of the functionality should be stock https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=557913.0

Three options:
1) Remove the plugin
2) Pay someone to fix the plugin
3) Ask the developers to fix it in the next update

I'd go for option 0) Fix it yourself and 4) Report it as a bug. I mentioned back in 2013 embedded links to images were overflowing and it looks like you fixed it yourself back then.

Here are some hints:
1. clicking on the new embedded image links load a new page
Not looked at the plugin it's likely a php/html fix

2. the new embedded images do not auto width so spill out of the parent element
Theme css using maxwidth
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/supporters-lounge/please-impose-a-limit-on-username-length/msg2784458/#msg2784458

3. the new embedded images max resolution may be set too high or not being obeyed
Investigate if there is a forum setting and the plugin obeys it, also fixed partially by the above css change unless the image is narrow width but overly long in height in which case something like max height will work as a css change in a worse case scenario. So in otherwords obey forums settings first, if no other option correct it in code.
 
4. user name length is spilling outside its parent element
Either a css change or forum setting and retroactively change offending user names

5. high resolution users get a graphical glitch in some of the theme images
There are a couple of images you can change, should have little impact on the forum if done right

This is something that your admin should be able to help with as well if he knows CSS/HTML/PHP. Lets make it clear though, it's normal to have to make minor changes to themes and plugins. Just like in the real world it always pays to document what code you change and do it carefully and double check your work. Report it as a bug so when there is an update you can see if it's been corrected, or needs adding back in if they haven't touched it. Remember to make an easily restorable backup of files before making changes.

I'm not sure you have noticed the previous posts on this but there are several issues in the theme and since adding that plugin there is a few more.

- clicking on the new embedded image links load a new page
- the new embedded images do not auto width so spill out of the parent element
- the new embedded images max resolution may be set too high or not being obeyed
- user name length is spilling outside its parent element
- high resolution users get a graphical glitch in some of the theme images

It doesn’t help that two image plugins were added at the same time, so we don’t know whether it’s a bug in one (or both) of the plugins, or two individually functional plugins that don’t get along, in which case we could decide which plugin’s features are more important.

The CSS fixes in the theme should be easy to do, though.
