Hi all,

I'd like to allow registered users to post images to forum. I believe the easiest way would be to add <img> to allowed input formats. Is this safe?

Also, is it possible to use BBtags? [img], [b] [quote] etc...

Thanks!

I'm a noob here, but I've added Only local images are allowed. to the allowed tags; I don't see how it would be a problem (except of course that users could post offensive pictures or pictures that are very large that could mess up your site layout).
There is a module called BBCode that allows you to use BBCode on your drupal site.
HTH,
Billy

The img_assist module (in conjunction with the image module) provides this functionality.

The htmlarea WYSIWYG editor allows for a VERY simple integration with both the image module, and images stored in other locations on the internet.

And, of course, bbcodes (with the bbcode module) and html code (with the input filters allowing for the img tag) will also allow this.

Out of all these options, I find the htmlarea module to be the easiest solution for non-technical users.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

bonobo
