I found this thread due to the handy dandy auto search thingy that popped up, but I have a suggestion, so I figured I'd post in this section of the forum.
Why don't you host a separate "uploader" on the surver such as the one seen here so that people can link to pictures using [img] tags. This would make it easier to insert text in between pictures (longer than a sentence) or after the pictures and would make it easier to order things correctly for proper story telling. I don't know if this is true, but you might be able to filter linked images so they can only come from the proper uploader site. Threads just seem to flow better using this method. Here is an example, even though I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
By the way, I just noticed there is several of each smiley in the box to the left.
The local content was why I asked if you could filter linked images to only work if they're from the SS upload site. It may not be possible, but it would definitely be cool.
The handling and viewing of uploaded images is pretty cool. I gave that a good thrashing yesterday in test. I can see the dimensions and file sizes are unusual but the image processing and layout after the "first click" looked pretty slick to me, and the "second click", a good idea, shows the full size of the image. I am hopeful of relatively large images being permitted.

Large images would depend if the computer has to download the whole picture file when the thread is opened or if it waits until the second click. Mangus, do you know which it is?
I'm just about ready to start a build thread on Mah Deuce (I've got about 300 images so far), and I'd REALLY like to be able to post using [img] tags. I usually host all of my images on my own site (trails less traveled), but I wouldn't mind uploading images to the SS servers. I'd just like to be able to display images inline with the text. Any chance that we might be able to upload images to the SS server, and then get links to where those files are hosted? You know, so then we could use the [img] tags and you'd still have control of the content. I wouldn't even mind if that was a whole separate process, but of course it would be nice if we could do that from the same page where we post.

If you look in the 'tips & tricks' forum, there is a way to do inline images with uploaded attachments.
