Instant Images - UBB.Developers

Currently when a user posts a topic, there are two columns beneath the main message window: Instant Graemlins and Instant UBB Code(TM). My suggestion is to add a third column, called Instant Images. LK helped me with this mod back when I was using version 6.3 and it worked perfectly using the Instant Graemlins javascript. I used the mod to insert Arabic expressions as images instead of text, since not everyone has the Arabic language enabled in their operating system. The mod can be used for any images to be inserted. I had buttons similar to the Instant UBB Code buttons with an abbreviation of the Arabic expression and when a user selected the button, it would automatically insert the UBB image code and the link for the image.

I have not been able to adapt it to version 6.7, so if anyone can figure out how, I would appreciate it.

Should be relatively easy to adapt, do you have the code from your old version still?

is that it? Looks relatively easy... do you have a link to an example?
