    I never realized this when i was on staff. It seems that normal members can't use [​IMG]

    No particular reason as far as I'm aware, probably something overlooked, or it was set default to disallow. I don't see any problems with allowing this. I'll assume that video bbcode is blocked there as well?

    Staff by default usually get all BBcode permissions. Or at least, all standard ones.

    I remember a time before I was on the staff that I tried to post an image, but couldn't. I figured it had to do with the blogs themselves and pretty much forgot about it.

    That being said, (not that I post on the blogs much anymore) I don't see why we couldn't let members post images in the comments.

    It's a peculiar thing as nothing seems amiss. I'll have a look.

    Is it not in the user group permissions for blogs or blog comments?

    Yes, it is. It must have been something decided from a previous Administration because it was in the registered user Usergroup. Well, it's altered now.

    It's either/or. Nopony get's images or everypony gets them. So, image BB codes are on again.

    I'm not sure I understand. There is an "Allow IMG BBcode" setting for each usergroup. Where does it say it's global for everyone?

    The Registered User Usergroup, which everyone is supposed to be.

    Welcome guys. It seems like a weird oversight for it to be turned off.
