If you open the images URL it leads to wikimedia commons.

Wikimedia's image host is the other server he's talking about. When you upload an image to a website like Imgur, you are using their server to host the image. It doesn't have anything to do with the client.

If one links a tracking pixel, the server that hosts the tracking pixel is the server that I'm talking about. If one links an image from imgur, the users browser, as client, requests said image from imgur. Sending requests to random servers is something we didn't have to do since the 90's.

This is a perfectly valid concern. I have been working on an Attachments plugin (which would let users "attach" both images and other files to their posts) for a few weeks now, and hope to unveil it within the following months.

I am always looking for constructive criticism about the forum software, and suggestions as to how it may be improved. As you may know, this forum uses the esoBB forum software, of which I am the sole developer, and so this gives me a relative amount of flexibility in fine-tuning the experience so that it may be better for everyone in general.

As such, let this serve as a megathread for suggestions. Ideas for new features to be added to the forum are welcome as well.

Of course, if you are a developer, you are more than welcome to contribute to the source code, which is completely open-source.

Add options in the setting menu bar for allowance of users to pee and be peed on

Suggestions to "declare (x) in my profile" will be ignored simply on the basis that there is already an "about me" field in the user settings which in turn appears on their profile. I am opposed to having dedicated fields to social media platforms for the following reasons:

  1. It supports another web platform that I do not necessarily trust, and inviting my users to visit that platform is morally unconscionable.
  2. This kind of functionality would require for me to assume which social media platforms are used by this website's community, if any, and I do not intend to cater to a particular audience of people, because it would help type the community on this website, which goes against the idea of a "topic-less free speech" forum.

Give moderators the ability to always see a user's signup email, on their profile or something of the sort. You can simply use the plugin that already exists with that functionality and extend that to moderators.
