Recently, I replied to a forum post with a GIF image and it worked just fine at first. The image appeared and all that. But after some time, the image just stopped working and showed plain HTML. I thought "Hey, that's odd. It's just a LOTR title card!" and tried to fix it by editing it, but it won't edit. Neither I can remove it.

I just want to know. Are we, normal users, allowed to use Images by using Markdown or is there some kind of vulnerability problem with it?

But why only allow Admins? I mean, I get that someone could use it to put an extremely long picture and that would no good, but can it be fixed by modifying the library. Speaking of it, doesn't it just simply turn Markdown to HTML?

Allowing images for anyone can bring additional fun to the Forums; that goes without saying. But, if there's a historical reason related to the original Finobe's website or something technical, then I will easily accept it.

We don't want to moderate images that are hosted outside of the finobe.net domain and we don't want to allow media to be uploaded by users simply because of concerns with security.
