When the mobile style was created, it was basically not possible -- so don't blame vBulletin. At that time it had to do with mobile devices not having the capability.

Today some devices have a browser capability most do not -- due to security risks. Intrinsic device APPS, have always been the means in which mobile devices extended their reach to external applications. This is why vBulletin developed it's mobile APP and why users use ForumRunner and TapATalk.

Do some additional research on the web, so your not disappointed when no one replies with a solution.

Today it is now possible (although, unsupported) as most devices implement MMS, a select few (but growing) have direct browser support.

Take Care.

Oops! I read the 'original post' incorrectly. You said "from" the mobile style not "from" the mobile device. Sorry, about that.

You have the capability already by using BBCODES, so the answer is yes it is possible. There are limitations and I discussed them at the top of this post. I think what you are really asking: "Is there any user dialog boxes for requesting an image from the web using the default mobile browser", and as far as I can see, there is not. Yes, they could be added.
