XF 2.3 How to get image attachments to show up instead of a link?

[Joe87]

There are times where images that users attach to a post show the actual image, other times it shows a link that you have to click... how can I get it so it always shows up the image and not a link?

In the attached when I edit the post, it shows it as (minus the spaces I put those so it shows what the code is)
[ ATTACH=full ] 37473 [ /ATTACH ]

I am on v2.3.10

why does this require an add-on? Just want attach images to show up... seems a basic forum thing.

No.

Whoever is making a post and adds an attachment.

Some posts the attachments automatically show up and works fine. Other posts, it shows as a link like I have shown above.

Remove attach limits

Description: Allows viewing image attachments in quotes and other areas. The default XenForo software only shows a link when attachments are quoted, this add-on allows quoted attachments to be seen as images. This add-on also allows RSS feeds...

are you on the text editor? hit the [ ] -----------------------------------^ over there and make sure you're on the visual editor interface

I will break it down on the issue:

1. Member will start a new thread or make a post reply
2. Member will click on Insert Image and then will upload a photo/drop image
3. Their post will show up as an attachment link

Sometimes it will show the actual attachment instead of the link. Not sure what the reason is for some attachments to show up as the actual image or as a link that you have to click on to see the image.
