How can I stop people from doing this?
Im my forums, when users attach images, they show up as a link in the post. I did this to conserve bandwith and it also brought my server load down, becuase lots of my users threads had images in them. And thats alot of extra CPU when you have hundreds of users opening threads with 10 images in them, and they are all getting pulled from the database.
But users get around this by attaching an image, then going back and editing the post and using the [img] tags. I don't want to stop [img] tags completely, because I dont care if they link to pictures on their own server and have the image display in the thread.
