How come when you embed an image, just using the usual [ img] [ /img], it's url turns from something like:
This:
http://i.imgur.com/3A2pYeb.jpg
Into this?:
https://forum.questionablequesting.com /proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3A2pYeb.jpg&hash=b7e8280b41da47b604c53c5bfe6201a2
It also changes the name of the image from "3A2pYeb.jpg" to "proxy.jpe".
This makes it pretty inconvenient to grab images from threads as you have to do it one by one, renaming each before you can grab another or they'll overwrite each other.
The url change also makes it difficult to do a reverse image search, if you're looking for a bigger version of an image or a higher quality one, as both Google and Tineye do not like the gobbledygook url it gets turned into.
