Hi, is there a way to insert an attached image in-line?

Currently, this is my workflow:
1. Create a post.
2. Attach an image
3. Hit the Submit button for it to upload.
4. Edit the post.
5. Insert the attached image, copying the url from the attacments.

Lastly, maybe an option to hide the display of the attachment? (so the it won't display twice in the post)

An example of a recent post [www.sidefx.com] I did.
I was able to insert the images in-line. But down below the attachments part, you would see again the same images. >__<

There is now! Just add your attachment and click the INSERTbutton beside it. It will insert the bbcode wherever your cursor currently is.

Example:
An image file named file.png:

will be inserted as:
[attach]file.jpg[/attach]

I've add an option to uncheck Display image previews.



Cheers!

I just updated my old post, images are now inserted more cleanly, and I turned off image previews. Everything works great! Thanks again!



On a different note. I noticed that some of the older posts that had, for example, absolute drive paths gets part of it converted to a smiley:
A quick google of an old post (2006):
https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/5197/#post-23564 [www.sidefx.com]

Letters conatianing “:” + “/” will become “

Is there a method to maybe change the way smileys are handled? Like maybe use them inside tags?

Hey Pirave, would it be possible for attached images inserted into the text to be included in thread emails? Maybe as a user option? (since some might not want that)

Thank you!

Looks like Solstheim.

Thank you for the small amelioration of my feeling of inadequacy for also recognizing where's the image from.

edit: upon re-reading my post, I've realized that the implication from my comment would be that anyone, including you Chris, should feel inadequate for recognizing that image, which is certainly not what I think. I feel that just about me, for reasons that have to do with the culture I've grown up in and my personal history.
