I have made a change to a vBulletin setting which supports a new feature. It allows image attachements to be viewed inline when viewing a thread so you don't have to click on them. The setting was changed from No to Yes, if post has only one attachment. The only downside is that it may make threads with large images difficult to read. Let me know if you prefer the old setting.
I did some testing of this feature and if you attach more than one image file they don't display inline, you get links at the bottom as with the No setting. Based on the setting name this was expected.
However, using the new attach tag you can place the attached image inline within the text of that post. If you do this for mulitple image attachments, more than one can be viewed inline. See this thread showing an example of how this new feature can be used. The syntax for the new attach tag is:
attachmentid#
The attachmentid is the number assigned to the attachment in the database, which can be viewed by hovering over the attachment link. Note that the inline image view only works if the attachment belongs to the post. You can link attachments from other posts, but they will display as a link.
