I am trying to find the source of this problem.

I want that when a Discourse user uploads a screenshot, it will upload (as it normally does) but that the topic will have NO outgoing link, that is, it will not have the `<a href>` tag, but will only process the `<img>` without link.

I’ve done tests, including here on meta, and I can’t find a way to make discourse disable outgoing links on images. Is there a way to configure it?

This is an example, see this screenshot:

And other image

It seems to be a dimension issue on the image.  
If the image is small in size, upload and have no outgoing link.

See example of a 400 px image:  
 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/2/d/c2d6182b5be0bd711031e024b195ffdfc9d483b7.png)

This last image, 400px, at least in my tests, has no outgoing link. It only displays the image, but doesn’t add the outgoing `<a href>` to it to see the larger image.

Where in Discourse can I set this up?

Images size less than or equal to `max image width` and `max image height` are not resized and lightboxed, if it’s what you mean.
