Is there a way for users to choose how images are handled?  Some users have requested if there's a way that images show up as a link instead of the actual image?  Privacy concerns when they're checking the forums in public.

As far as I am aware - and someone can correct me if I am wrong - if you paste in an http url to an image then the image will always display as that is how html works. I am not sure if there is any way around that.

Anyone?

I know you can do this in Vbulletin.  There's a option in the settings which allows users to view images.  If you uncheck the show images, the post will show the image as the link.  

Visible Post Elements

You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.

I take it that's a global site wide option set by an admin? Or an option for a user to pick for there individual forum viewing settings?

The only thing you can do here would be to un-check the box 'Auto insert images into post content' then hide the div's that display images in posts with display: none;

But - that would hide every image for everybody with no switch to change so to speak, leaving just the attachments box at the bottom of a post with a link to the image.

That option is in the User options.  Maybe plan that as an option for later updates?

it can be considered, but first such request...  and you can already do this for uploaded images though on site wide basis, not individual user...
