................ Don't be one of those guys who posts a dozen huge photos in one post that bogs down the whole page.
....and there are quite a few of those !!!
I never said I would. I just wanted to know how, since many people do it. More a curiosity. Seems that's the message that should get out, rather than everyone saying 'why not just attach them'. I've been using my preferred method of the thumbnail via attachment for years and it works fine for me.And getting back to some of the original topic, this forum software does not handle photos very well. Until we go with a new platform, we're stuck with it.
Posting huge inline photos is rude and can be expensive. While many of us have fast connections and unlimited data, not everyone does. In fact many forum members do not. Posting 3 meg images inline is a real hassle for them. Attach it so that if they choose to see it zoomed up, they can. Don't be one of those guys who posts a dozen huge photos in one post that bogs down the whole page.
Not that I've done a search check, but I don't recall any moderator ever scolding a member for posting large inline photos, but maybe it has been done.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

The text editting box is probably some ready made jquery code (I did this kind of things when I studied HTML programming but it's too long ago..), anyone comfortable with web programming can easily fix the problem, just remove that malfunctioning attatchment button so people are forced to use the real Attachment Manager below the text editting box.

A new reason to image-host on DIYA instead of elsewhere:
Porn company 5 Star HD Porn bought the expired domain for...Vidme .... any websites with Vidme embeds now have porn on them.
"Here’s (yet another) argument against using third-party embeds on your respectable website: Porn company 5 Star HD Porn bought the expired domain for video hosting site Vidme, which went out of business in 2017. This means that any websites with Vidme embeds now have porn on them. According to Motherboard, which reported the story first, the list of websites with unexpected porn embeds includes New York Magazine, the Washington Post, HuffPost, and others. And yes, we discovered one such embed on The Verge and have since disabled it.
"It’s a very extreme example of link rot, which is what happens when online content or images are deleted or otherwise broken, so the links don’t point back to their original targets."

Photobucket seems to be trying again to to get me to pay for their changing the free account terms to prevent embedding links
I went with it early on to put the images where and at what size I wanted in message texts
I would try to scrape my Photobucket albums if the images could be hosted here and reconnected with my original posts.

I use an external hosting site, but I “” them here in consideration for people who are not signed up or logged in to diyaudio. They can still see the images.
I don’t use photobucket and I don’t insert external links. I find links annoying. As far as photobucket, search any forum for that critical piece of detail you need and I can certify you will find blank photobucket images.

> people ultimately close those sites
Not just that they go dead. As explained in #104, expired domains get re-sold to strangers who can rig a server to answer "any" URL with unexpected content.
"The domain name of a now-defunct website used by news publishers and others to inline videos in articles has been configured to inject porn into those pages.
"In 2017, vid.me closed its doors,....Sometime after vid.me shut down, the domain was updated so that it pointed to the very NSFW website of Five Star HD Porn, the name of which should give you an indication of the nature of its content.....
"And so, ..., webpages that embedded those vid.me videos ...ended up inlining the homepage of the hardcore porno website, and thus displayed thumbnails of and links to X-rated material."
