Posting Images requires a link when you're sending them in Direct Messages/Conversations as opposed to posting the image directly everywhere else in the forums. The latter appears when you're about to post/reply to a forum post, and post/reply to a profile post.

Well as you can't do attachments in DM's, it automatically removes image attachments too....

While space constraints do make sense i think it's privacy concerns, as all attachments should/are downloadable by everyone; But if there's something super sensitive (or illegal), that could cause issues and easier to just disallow it.

At least i'm assuming that's how it works....
