I don't know whether this is a bug or feature request, but is there a way to re-post a pic that's attached to another post? I feel bad uploading the same pic in multiple posts, but it seems like when I copy the attachment text from the original and paste it into a different post, the pic shows up in the preview, but not in the actual post.

In this post, I'm going to try to re-post an attachment from another post:

// Error: Image 332137 not found //

I verified that it previews fine.

But the pic doesn't show up in the post.

Here I've attached a screenshot of the preview from the previous post:

Thanks for the reply, Robin.

Is anyone even able to see the attachment code except the person who posted the image originally when editing the the post? Is stealing in this way even possible? I notice when quoting someone who has posted a pic, it doesn't quote the code for posting the image, just the image name. With regards to stealing, I think the work-around is to just download the attachment someone else posted and then upload it again, so it seems like stealing can still happen.

I agree that it could be abused by having the same person spamming threads with the same image, but I would think they could still do that by just uploading the image every time if they were motivated. The downside would be a higher amount of files being uploaded versus many references to the same file.

An argument in favor of the ability to re-post would perhaps be in a project thread where images are posted periodically as the thread grows, but maybe the original post is updated with milestones. Or if you have a separate project thread, but also want to post a milestone in a club thread for that game for greater exposure.

It's just a suggestion for something to think about. I'm able to accomplish what I want either way, but there may be more legitimate use of the ability to re-post than there would be abuse.

Thanks,
Jim
