  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    Since Phun wants people to use the approved external hosts for their images, shouldn't the attachment feature be removed from at least some of the areas? I know it's a big PIA in the Amateur X-ray thread, and if attaching wasn't even an option they might figure out how to properly post on Phun sooner.

    Just a thought, since I know it's a pretty easy change to make in vBulletin.

    never made use of or needed attachments.
    could also reduce server-load, because the attachments are hosted on the forum´s server.

    I've seen attachments on a few posts from newbies on older threads.

    It's probably a very good idea to get rid of it, given it serves no real purpose and can only confuse newbies.

    I like the idea also. It'd make people actually find out how to post pics properly seeing as the easy option isn't there anymore. I'll pass on the idea to the power above.
