      Yup you would think there would be some obvious setting 'image previews' or similar but..... I'm finding nothing!

      It looks like it's using the first available image as a topic thumbnail but there no setting for that 🤔

        Looks like it's this but I'd still expect to be able to disable it completely:

          @stephenw10 completely agree - the user should have a way to disable this. And if they wanted to get fancy, have the ability to turn that off per category/section, etc.

          Depending on the forum - maybe there is a meme type section where users just post images where that might make sense - where you might be able to tell from a little icon of the image if you have seen that one already, etc.

          While I am all for images in posts - they are required to be honest to see what the user is seeing, etc..

          But to be honest - these are pretty useless for anything other than distraction.. You sure can not glean any info off such a small image to what the user is wanting to show, like their firewall rules or settings in a gui page.

          I am a big poster of images to be honest, it's the easiest way to show the user where a setting is, or a basic network drawing on how to connect stuff, etc. But not really a fan of this implementation.. Glad @mvikman was nice enough to post some filters, so I didn't have to dig that deep..

                          @johnpoz said in Forum change?:

                          https://forum.netgate.com/recent

                          If you had a specific thread open, like this "Forum change?" it showed the pictures on the top of the page in the right side of the subject line.

                          Edit. actually it still does when removing the filters

                            @mvikman ah - now what I see what your talking about.. Yeah I hadn't noticed that one. That one at least for me isn't as bothersome.. But @stephenw10 any way to make that one go away too?

                            I mean what is the point of such a tiny little picture?

                              Hmm, yeah also seeing that. It's not a topic thumbnail..... maybe the 'media gallery' feature? Both seem completely pointless!

                                No memes in the Netgate forum? I guess some topics come close enough.
