Add option to disable "Full Image" when inserting attachments

[Gator]

Presently I allow users to upload large attachment images to the site (without size limitations), however, I wish I could force them to use "Thumbnails" only when inserting into a post. It would be nice to "disable"/"toggle off" the "Full Image" option when users post. This would force them to use the "Lightbox" to view larger images.

For example, we have thread where users are posting high numbers of Memes, and it take a long time to scroll through the page. I know I can limit the number of attachments per post, but I think this would be a better option.

Agreed. It's also crucial for users on mobile phones too for us and certainly does slow things down, especially if on mobile data 4G etc. This really would be beneficial.

I would really like to have either

1. a usergroup permission to post Full Image
   OR
2. a forum setting to allow/disallow Full Image

With this addon installed does it reduce the size of the attachment image ? Because it's the goal to insert thumbnail

I'd love to see this option implemented. We too allow large images to be uploaded. We would love them to appear as thumbnails, regardless of whether someone hits the image links and uploads it or pastes directly into the message.

AndyB's addon btw just disables the button to insert a full image from the attachment bar... it isn't designed to prevent large images from showing. All one has to do is hit ctrl-v after copying an image from chrome for example and we are back to full size.

Related... A lot of PNGs get uploaded when copying from a browser (even if they start as a JPG) or from a phone. I have a suggestion about auto converting these 5MB PNGs back down to 100-700k. I feel it's the sibling of this suggestion....

Option to convert PNG to JPG on upload (because of phone uploads and Chrome copy/paste)

I'd really love an option to automatically convert PNG to JPG on upload. A lot of our users, instead of using the image button on the edit bar and uploading a file, are clicking on a file, loading it in Chrome or IE, etc, clicking , in the browser on Windows for example, (which loads the image...

They would still be able to display the full image by copy and pasting an image which is the way a lot of people do it.

That's why I think it would be nice to have an option to convert-to-thumbnail-upon-save.

Would be great if this feature could be implemented in the next update. I am tired of editing fullsized image posts.
