well I was going through this thread [URL]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1261490[/URL] , and it made me think, why the hell can we no longer media tag images, that was a great feature and is quite useful for posting NSFW images such as gore. SO my question is, why is it gone/ hasn't been re-implemented.
This post explains the feature better then I
[QUOTE=Shadaez;40298306]He's referring to the images being hidden until you clicked a thing that showed them in the page. Garry removed them because they still downloaded the image if they weren't open, and he felt they were useless I believe.[/QUOTE]
Probably un-necessary load on the server when posting hyperlinks works just fine.
The media tags were for linking to videos and stuff. Not for adding spoilers to images.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40293359]while this thread exists why was the ticker taken away?
the garry giveth and taketh away?[/QUOTE]
There's another thread going about that, but fyi it's still here [url]http://facepunch.com/fp_ticker.php[/url]
If you want to hide stuff just link to it, like this:

It's easier to open stuff in a new tab anyways, because it doesn't stretch the page.

and If you want previews but don't want to stretch the page, use [noparse][img_thumb][/img_thumb][/noparse] tags, like this:

Hover Zoom / equivalent browser plugins with hyperlinks work just as well as media tags fyi
