Add Image option screwed ! (SORTED... my bad)

Way to go Zeni, something else you managed to bugger up. What was wrong with the old method of just uploading an image directly from PC? to forum thread?

Well I won't be participating in the Community Creations forums anymore, thanks !

Inability to easily determine copyright?
Infinite potential for abuse (e.g, offensive images)?
Cost of storage/bandwidth (assuming only 1 in 10 posts include an image (say 300kb) that would be roughly 2GB of images alone)?
Proliferation of alternative options?
Common practice in other forum systems?

Given the above, what would be the point of implementing direct forum uploads?

How about simply making things easier for forum users.
And saying that as It turns out I wasn't completely wrong. The Community Creations forum does let you upload directly, General discussion doesn't. Geez... one or the other please !

Makes sense they allow it also in Community Creations also.
