I'm sure this is the wrong place for a feature request, but I thought I would bring it up anyway.

Would it be possible for someone to add an attachment preview feature?

I definitely appreciate the lean-and-mean spirit of this board. And I don't want to sound unappreciative.

I just want to see if this feature has been discussed already.

If you want an image to appear with the message just use the 'Insert Image' link right below the comment box.


Yes, I know how to insert an image. But it would appear that most users are attaching images, when they should be posting images inline.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have only ONE option for attaching/inserting files? For example, if the file is an image, then it gets automatically posted inline, if it is not an image, it gets linked.

Think MyFonts... the other ID spot. WTF only allows inline images. No attachments.

Attachments are good. Typophile should definitely support attachments. But shouldn't Typophile do things to encourage the use of insertions (when attaching is inappropriate)?
