Images are automatically embedding on the forum

[Nosebleed]

Accidently discovered this today, whenever you paste an image URL (just a regular JPG/PNG) on a post now it just automatically embeds it

 

This is true for the first 3 image URLs, if you use more than 3 URLs the remaining URLs remain in URL form (which is the same for videos)

 

While this doesn't affect most people, it does affect anyone that links NSFW images as they get automatically embedded so we can't just link stuff which is rather troublesome.

It's also annoying on Fuwachat if someone just wants to share an image.

 

Hope this can be fixed.

 

Current workaround for this that I'm using is to hyperlink an image's URL to itself.

I can testify to this.

 

It's really troublesome if you're posting NSFW images, as you have said.

 

Hope the others can read this as well.

I'd argue that its better that it auto posts the image, as its an image.

 

The ratio of times things get posted of display an image to link an image, suggests that 8/10s the former.

I'm not arguing that most people wouldn't be too affected (I even mention that in the OP), still, it only works for the first 3 images (you'll have to manually embed the rest if you have more) and the main problem is NSFW stuff which now gets automatically embedded and some people might not notice ( I sure didn't notice my post because it was in a spoiler and i only saw when i opened the spoiler 1 hour later) which can lead to accidental reports.

 

I really think images should not be automatically embedded on the forums.

In most forums I visit this rarely happens because it allows exploitation (I still remember the MALpocalypse)

[Kendjin]

Ah, I had not considered that it would be loaded under a spoiler and might be offensive.

Auto-embedding is an all-or-nothing setting in IPB.

[Nosebleed]

If I had to chose then, I'd rather it not auto embed.

There's no reason to auto embed images. It was like that before and it worked fine, it also makes it easier to link stuff.

I would prefer not auto embed please, Thanks

[Zakamutt]

For images or for all formats? Because Youtube embeds used to auto where images did not, so that's pretty weird. Anyway, prefer non auto embed.
