It would seem as though we have a need for this, but some updates and new features would be nice - so long as vB 3.7.x doesn't allow this already. We're not going to install this until we update though. Soon.

We run an information based site and notable threads get placed in our archives. Currently the mods have to manually edit the source of every external image and upload it as an attachment before moving the thread(s) to the archives.

This mod would make this work effort obsolete.

Questions:
If two people link to the same offsite image but in different threads, does this mod track that and link to the same image? Or does it simply cache it again.

Can this mod be made so that instead of caching the images it simply makes them an "attachment" as the user that posted the thread?

Are any future updates planned for this mod or is it final as-is?

Are there options that allow us to determine which images get cached and which don't?

Is there a way to clean up the cache over time for images that are in threads that we are not archiving and are no longer relevant?
