@erlend_sh Disabling “download to local” would cause broken image links, that’s actually (in my opinion) not really what somebody wants. If that posting gets years old, I still want to know to what the author referred to by actually seeing the picture he mentions. (It happens on other websites all the time, and it is annoying).

@mcwumbly I actually have no idea how you got that link attached to the picture. If I had to guess, I would say meta.discourse disabled the “store local option”. But, like I said in my opening, this wont really help you if you get accused for copy/publishingrights infridgement (at least not here in Austria).

An `<a href....>` would easily do the job, maybe there is still room in the options somewhere… And maybe, if discourse can check for broken links from time to time, that would be a great opportunity to reduce the size of the local picture and mark it with something link “original content removed” … just an idea…
