Can't Embed Images in Some Forums (Fora?)
I just noticed that I couldn't hotlink an image in Omni/PR like I can in the photography forum. I assume this was a setting done on purpose for some reason or another - anyone know why?
It would be nice to put in pictures when I think they add something to a post.

Images were not enabled for all forums, only ones were it was thought that that the images would add value. No disrespect to those who post in OMNI and OMNI/PR but I don't think it's a good idea for those forums to have imaged enabled.

In case you miss it, here are some old discussion threads on this issue over TalkBoard Topics Forum:
Voting Complete - Motion Passed: To allow static images in many forums
UPDATE: Motion Failed: Allow static images (except in omni)
Proposal: Allow Photos in Forums Besides Trip Reports and Travel Photography?
If you want to advocate changes to current policy w/r/t embedded photos, you should try to lobby or raise the issues (with very good reasons) in TB Topics Forum.
