    I came across a tweak that is nice. The default XF way of doing things when you quote someone's post where an attachment is included (one that is uploaded, not a photobucket link) is to show that as a link that you have to click to see the pic.

    Super annoying.

    But, that's fixed. Now it include the pic in the quoted area.

    meh....I find that annoying when someone quotes a post with a lot of pics. One pic not so bad. A lot of them and multiple people quoting the same thing and its just a super long page of the same pics with 1 line replies "nice"... It's not even a speed issue on my end either because they load fast enough, although that may not be the case for everyone. One of those things that you want to tell people to quit quoting the damn post and repopulating the same damn pics a dozen times.

    One of the things about XF though is that it compresses a quoted post, so if someone quotes a post with 10 pics, the compressed quite only shows a snippet of it unless you click the link to expand it.

    That didn't compress, but I know what you're talking about. So ya that's cool.

    What is more annoying, to me, is if you quote the post and cut it down to one pic that you wanted to comment on or ask about, but that pic doesn't show up. Forcing everyone to click the link for the attachment and view it in another tab/window. Then, if you wanted to share someone else's attachment as a viewable pic, you can't without downloading the pic and re-attaching it to your post. This leads to duplicate attachments

    It compresses based on the view, so on my phone, it compresses. On desktop it allows a larger snippet (responsive)
