Ok, I’ve added some CSS to not display images in posts. Don’t know if there are any unintended consequences, and doesn’t stop images being uploaded.

Was going to suggest having an ‘images’ tag and then showing images where the thread is tagged with it. But I don’t think that’s possible with CSS. And I should be going out now.

Okay good work but there’s one showing above your post so is it in place already?

I’ve turned them on again, was just a trial.

Ah! Cool then, thanks.

Do you think it’s something we could do at the top of the site with a link back to the old site and then a link to turn off all images?

#15

I would imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to add a little button somewhere to toggle images in comments on and off

#16

I’ve put in a request over on the @discourse forums

#17

Good idea! That’s the best way forward.

Just popping in to offer my support for image minimalisation in whatever the most convenient form is.

[details=Perhaps we could all hide our images like this?]

Pro: It’s a throwback to olddis where you have to click to see the image

Con: It’s cruel and unusual punishment for japes

EDIT: OH MY GOD THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLY TO THE CAPTAIN. WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS?

@sean This is probably a stupid question, but are all these images we’re uploading going to cost the site more $$$?

If so, I might have a couple of follow up questions.

#22

I don’t think so. It’s charged per 100k pageviews upto 200k pageviews and then I have to chat with @discourse about the rate.

We also have the option to self-host but that would involve server admin and no tech support.

Might have to rethink things.

Sean can make maximum image upload size 0 but that means we lose avatars too, apparently.

#24

These are the pricing options btw. 50GB storage is plenty.

I suppose you wouldn’t do it here but what is Discourse’s stance on not allowing people to upload images at all? Is that a removable feature?

See my two replies at the start of the thread. Basically they haven’t considered it. I think the assumption is that as they can’t be avoided on Twitter, FB etc it’s a fairly niche request right now.

Personally I still think there’s room for forums/social media to have those options and it’s really a simple thing. You’ll see they are now looking into it from Sean’s posting from their site :slight_smile:
