I wasn't going to respond again because I don't have a good answer, but since you started the second thread...

If you define your bbcode replacement as <img src="something" />{param} then if someone puts something in the middle it should just put the image first (but maybe you already tried that).

If you really wanted single tags you would have to modify the javascript to get a button to insert a single tag, then you would also have to add a plugin to process the tag.

Or you could somehow use the smilies since I think they do exactly what you want (except I don't know what would happen to the smilies menus if you used large images).
