Allow all image extensions on TO Forum

Declined

 

Because "copy and pasting" would mean that you upload your image onto the forum and use the forum's memory to store your image. Allowing images to be uploaded to the storage would increase the memory requirements by orders of magnitude, so by simply linking the image and displaying it while another website hosts the file is a lot cheaper for forum maintenance. As far as I know, the majority of online forums do the same.

Well we could maybe at least have support for .svg and upload tiny files? Giving 5mb per forum user is not so bad, right? One average low end laptop with 500gb could store it.

 

If I remember correctly, you used to be able to post images though the "my media" function. However. you can't upload to it anymore.

 

For the curious, I have exactly 1 image stored in my account

I never figured out how that feature works. Never used it, so can't really comment on this  :wacko:
