Media Gallery as Mirror Attachments Only?

[beerForo]

@arn how is this working out? Thinking of doing it but torn on allowing comments. Yes they can click to go to the thread and comment but if they just want to say "cool pic" then they have to quote the image in the thread and comment when they could just drop it in gallery. I know the image comments will get lost, but I don't mind as much since it's mirroring.

It’s been fine. It hasn’t been a huge feature but I think it’s nice for people to be able to see their history of attachments.

with comments and stuff turned off, it really is just an attachment manager

And the new media tab is nice to browse

Thank you. I'll give it a shot soon. Put that Gallery renewal fee to use lol.

ARGHHH! I forgot media comments do not have the full editor and users can't upload images! Strangest XF decision ever. Yeah, comments off. My use case was: User sees an image and wants to show off theirs (car, whatever).
