I Love The Work On The Image Button
Excellent work there whoever did it.
That is the best implementation of that function I've seen on a VBulletin site.
'click-ctrl+v-click'. Excellent.

It's the button you use to post images if you don't just type out the image tags yourself. Now the button simply types out the opening tag with one click [ img] (no space), then you ctrl+v the link to the image, then you click the image button again and it types out the close tag [ /img] (no space).
I really like that functionality.
Most of the time, including here until a few days ago, the image button would pop up a dialogue box that you posted the image link into, then clicked ok, the the image URL surrounded by the tags was posted.

Pretty sure that has been around since the button has been there, just like the hyperlink button.

No wonder I was confused. I thought something changed. That button has been there a long time.

Definitely reason for folks to take another look.
Props!

The functionality has changed, meaning - what happens when you click the button.
I've already changed the functionality on another forum I'm on to be the same as it is here.

Am I on dope?!?!


It changed it's functionality for me here in the last week, maybe it's the last update to Firefox 3 or one of the updates to an add on that effects the way scripts run on a page. That's possible I guess.
There has been no change at all on the other 8 or so VBulletin forums I post on so I kind of doubt it. But who knows.

If you look at the next line after the Image selection picture, you will see a choice of Guided Mode or Enhanced Mode.
Clicking on the Image button in Guided Mode causes this:
