attached images usage

[cilu]

When an image is attached to a post, it is automatically displayed at the end of the post (however, this happens if there are not more than 2 images attached). I was wondering if there can be created a way to have it displayed anywhere in the post, for instance using the img tag. Say I attached a PNG file called foo.png, if I use
[img=foo.png]
it is displayed in that place, just like images are displayed in the articles.

Can this be done? I'm sure many would like to have it implemented.

Yeah, that would be nice indeed. It currently doesn't work because of a security feature in vBulletin which essentially means that you can't include images that are generated from a non-fixed URL. I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement though, but I'm guessing that it's not trivial.

As Yves illuded, images uploaded to the forum are stored in a database. As such, the URLs to them are not fixed. There is a simple setting in vBulletin that would let us allow non-fixed URLs in IMG tags; however, allowing this is a huge security risk. It was therefore turned off. This was done after someone abused it.

Brad!

So, are there any chances to have it reactivated?
