Just a question about the Attachment function vs. IMG tag...
if it matters for diagnostics, running Safari .73 on 10.2.6
Perhaps only the admins and mods can attach (under current privileges),
but it seems that most attachments appear inline as images (even for PNG), at least in Safari,
yet if i click to view attachment, i see exactly the same image.
anti-climactic deja vu.
Maybe such functionality only matters for non-image attached files, and vB can support image types (ergo image attachments are redundant based on content type in these cases), but i'm trying to understand why some mods/admins use attach for an image instead of IMG?
presence of the paper clip icon next to threads makes me curious, but when i discover it's just an inline image, i'm left scratching head.
Hardware (firewall) / Software (permissions) / User (obscure browser support) or what?
Parallel implementation of wider feature set (testing)?
Why not just stick with the IMG tag (and save attachment for non-image files)?
enlightenment welcomed.
