Hi there,

we have the issue that solutions that contain images are not displayed with the image in the first post. The solution onebox only contains the words `[image]`. See a screenshot:

That’s because this is a quote, and quotes don’t display images.

Seems that quotes actually are able to display images using `full:true`:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/full-text-image-in-quotes/57103/3?u=stefan\_fairphone](https://meta.discourse.org/t/full-text-image-in-quotes/57103/3)

Is it possible to enable this for the solved plugin? In my opinion it would make sense for solutions to display everything that’s included in that post.

Technically, yes, we can have the excerpter optionally allow images, it can get mighty noisy though. Not super keen on adding it due to the risks.

Maybe that could be an opt-in preference in the admin settings.

Why does it matter? You can click on the quote to expand it and see the full image.

I don’t think that this is obvious for solutions.

Usually when you quote something, you quote an _excerpt_ of another  
post. People that want to read the context could click on the downward  
arrow to expand the quote.

When you mark a post as solution, you usually regard the whole post as  
the solution. Apart from the fact that you cannot mark an _excerpt_ of a  
post as solution, you always end up with a solution **without images**.  
I don’t see a reason why a solution should only contain the whole text  
of a post, but should not contain any visual content.

There is a reason, noise.

Giving an entire post with images that can be fairly tall real estate on the first post can be intrusive.

Imaging if the response on the 3rd post which is the accepted answer is:

> Do this:
> 
> image 1 (640x480)
> 
> Do that:
> 
> image 2 (640x480)
> 
> Then:
> 
> image 3 (640x480)

Now the top OP will either have … 1 image which is not enough, OR 3 images which are enormous duplication.
