Apologies Mick, but since I nagged Gareth about this periodically it's only fair that I nag you too.

Can you please lobby on our behalf for the BBS admin to turn on the 'insert image' function in the BBS software that means when you post a hyperlink to a pic hosted elsewhere, it appears in the post? I see this feature is activated in the BBS's target section and maybe other sections too.

Other forums do it and it saves readers the hassle of having to follow links, close down windows etc, as well as making posts visually more interesting.

As you will remember, we had it when collectables was born but it was switched off soon afterwards, perhaps under the misconception that it cost JSR bandwidth - it doesn't of course, because the pic is hosted on a different server to the BBS's. I'm not talking about being able to upload pics like in the sales section.

Presumably a fear is that it will be a magnet for pornography, but since you have to be a BBS member to post anyway, is that likely? The rules could specify that posting lewd pics will lead to an instant 'holiday'.

I've been told repeatedly it won't happen, but not really why it won't happen. With respect, perhaps it's time for a change of heart?

Thank you.
