A better solution is to do this:

In the BBCode section for both Simple and Username Quotes, find in the HTML every instance of:

<img SRC="images/quotes

And replace with:

<img WIDTH="15" SRC="images/quotes

and delete the second occurance of WIDTH="15" in each of the img tag.

You do this 5 times in the Simple Quote, and 7 times (I think) in the Quote with Username.

Then, you need to do some hacking - apologies if this is not allowed - it's only a minor hack.

In includes/functions_newpost.php, find:

PHP Code:

fetch_character_count(parse_bbcode($post['message'], $foruminfo['forumid'], $post['enablesmilies']), '<img') > $vboptions['maximages']) 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

fetch_character_count(parse_bbcode($post['message'], $foruminfo['forumid'], $post['enablesmilies']), '<img src') > $vboptions['maximages']) 


That should do it. The quoting images will now NOT be counted as an image in posts. Smilies and other images will still be counted as usual.

Really cool hack but do have 1 question... Where is <img SRC="images/quotes at? I have searched every file and the database as well but cant find any instances of it. If it helps I am running vb3 gold.
