With this extension it is possible to influence the display of links and pictures. Some settings are available in the "User Control Panel". This allows the user to decide for himself what is more important to him. Secure data transfer, comfortable display or fast loading times of the forum page.
In the Administration Control Panel, the administrator chooses which domain is to be recognised as his own domain. The subdomains underneath are included in each case. External links and images can be identified by adding the source as a caption to the images and by adding a symbol to links. He can specify the maximum size of images in pixels that may be embedded in a post. Larger images are automatically changed to a text link. The administrator can use the forum authorisation system to make external links and images in posts inaccessible to users. The user will instead be shown the message "You do not have sufficient permission to view this link".
In the User Control Panel, the user can instruct the board to open external links in a new tab or window. For faster loading times, the user can converted all external images to a text link. To view all images quickly, the user can have all images that are inserted as text links displayed as images in the posts. For more data security, he can convert insecurely transmitted images (http: connection) into a text link.
