Suggestion: ImageShack Integration

just a small suggestion, that's really easy to install..

a lot of people get confused by the fact that they can't attach images to their posts (which i'm 110% for NOT allowing attachments), and don't know how/where to host images when they want to post something.. and then you have people posting things three times before they get rid of their red X's..

i think the general consensus around here is that ImageShack.us is the place to host your pics for posting.. while a lot of people know this, a lot don't..

ImageShack provides instructions on their website on how to add an ImageShack upload section to the 'additional options' area of the newthread and postreply sections of vB.. it's a small footprint, and allows users to upload their images and get the code for it right from a thread..

as for the adult forum (i know we got in trouble here for using imageshack for adult images), you could simply leave it out of the adult forum by adding an 'if' condition to the code..

thoughts?

I think most people who want to post images, know how already ...as far as integration ..don't think it'd really be that necessary..as it's not really a problem except for adult which we've already blocked..and I think if it's that easy, it may get abused ..people will just insert images just for the fun of it / be stupid / etc vs now where they only put images when they *want* to put one for the purpose of explaining or showing something..or something
