Marium0505, yeah that could be a middle way.
I hope there is some phpBB plugins or code snippet to block the [img] tag. That can whitelist [img] tags for the imgur.com domain. And apply only to post creation or edits at times after the code is enabled, to avoid breaking older posts that hotlink.
More ambitiously (and beyond the scope of this request) some script could trawl through all older posts and detect [img] hotlinking, retrieve the hotlinked image and make it into an inline attachment.
I wonder why some currently use imgur over of attach+inline. How much is due to UI design?
- The "insert image tag" image icon button is close to the edit box.
- The "add file" button is much further down, users may need to scroll to see it. "place inline" is only visible after attaching a file, so users might not know it is possible. Drag and drop image on edit box attaches it. But there's no hint that that feature exists and again can require scrolling to see "place inline".
UI change ideas for attach+inline. Given it an icon button above the edit box. Or let the image icon button open the "add files" popup. A text hint could say "drop image to place inline". After attaching an image a "place inline" button could show and flash above the editbox. Maybe rename "place inline" to "place image inline" or "place image in text".
In the meantime here is a uBlock origin dynamic rule to on this site show only images hosted on autohotkey.com and ahkscript.org
and joedf's specific signature images
