There's a few historical reasons we didn't allow images to be embedded:

- People can embed very large images and the user gets no choice as to whether they want to download them. We still have users on satellite broadband and bandwidth/usage is very important.

- It can break the layout of the forum with very large/wide images.

#2 may be preventable these days but #1 is still relevant.

In any case I'll discuss with Terry and we'll get back to you.
