Assign a number to image upload instead of name...
Some of my members are attaching screen shots with names like crap.png (trust me I'm being mild) and once the image uploads the name pops up as crap.png whenever the curser hovers over the image.
I know I can use filters to filter words but I would much rather that the board software assign in a random number so that crap.png becomes 18756.png once uploaded.
Not sure if that's possible with the addon or something but Xenforo uses .number to identify everything from members, to posts, to searches etc so I'm wondering why images don't get the same treatment.
I have to add that I don't allow hotlinking, any hotlinked image is converted to an attachment with an addon so we don't get dead images. It would be nice if a consecutive number was assigned as a name to uploads, it would solve a lot of issues with the members that use more colorful language.
crapload.png would simply become 12345.png
