    Thanks

    You can only post images in the Cool Vids Pics & Links section of After Hours.

    Good thing to, or the forum would undoubtedly be knee-deep in pics of facepalming Picards.

    After Hours is the busiest forum on the site. Up until very recently, the site didn't have the hard-ware to support the volume of images that would be created on the forum. That was the original reasoning for it anyway, I believe.

    Better without it tbh, there'd be new threads opening every day with pictures in the OP, and pics in the comments and so on.

    The only real benefit would be for news stories, but even then we're just linking to the original article/story anyway.

    My understanding is when I link an image you load it from the site I linked from, not from boards. Which is why several image hosting sites take offense to embedded images.

    I thought it was to keep the place from descending into complete madness. The place is already absurd enough without the inclusion of images of tomfoolery. :P
