The blog post by codinghorror announces improved image handling in Discourse, highlighting new features like automatic thumbnailing for large images, metadata overlays, and lightbox viewing. These enhancements were contributed by ZogStriP and allow users to paste or upload images more efficiently, with the default upload size increased to 2 MB. While the original post noted that image pasting only worked in Google Chrome due to technical challenges, later comments reveal that this limitation has since been resolved, with image pasting now working across major browsers. The discussion also notes that the original meta thread referenced in the blog post is no longer accessible, prompting a suggestion to update or remove the link, which was subsequently done by justin. codinghorror, maiki, Decorbuz, david, codinghorror, justin}
Although Discourse is open source discussion software designed around the fundamental concept of paragraphs, there is no denying that in this era of pervasive broadband, online discussions are as much about images and videos now as they are about words.

Well, there clearly isn’t any madness anymore. Almost nine years later, it works just fine in Mozilla Firefox and just about every other major web browser. 
Looks like the topic has been deleted here on Meta, but it’s still available on the wayback machine:
(maybe we should update the link in the blog post to use the archived version @justin ?)
Or just remove the link in the post, as it’s no longer relevant in any way whatsoever..
The link has been removed!
