Images Only option 3

I see that you can't do Images Only in a thread anymore. Is this just me or a toggle option now?
Images Only is a fantastic way for people to view actives threads, grow logs, cultivation and journals etc.
If it got axed, why? And can we have it back?

It's a great learning tool in the mushroom forums of this site.

I imagine it was a measure to try and decrease bandwidth usage. I'm guessing.

The mushroom forums should have it. Can you guys just turn on those few or dome thing if bandwidth is the issue?
Or limit page display to 10. Idk.

I find it hard to believe that taking words out will decrease bandwidth anyway

...or give the option to shroomery supporter accounts. Not all supporters will use it. Back in the day, I had a website and I was only allowed so much bandwidth per month. Over that they would charge me extra or take my website offline until the following month. Pictures use up a lot of bandwidth at full resolution. Maybe bandwidth isn't the word I'm looking for.

Had nothing to do with bandwidth it wasn't coded right so it would still show the same number of pages as the original thread but would be much smaller as images only. So it didn't work great.
Tje code has to be re wrote from scratch

That's unfortunate. It's a super useful tool for a picker. Once you've done your book learning and you've got it narrowed down to a few, images only is nice because you can see different types of morphology based on area, substrate and weather as seasons progress.

Is there any way we could just implement the broken version until the working code gets figured out in a sandbox or whatever? I mean sure it didn't work great.. but it still did something.

As clunky as it was, it was so useful to tell a beginner "open up the actives threads from the last five years and run images only". I would've walked by thousands of good mushrooms due to their substrate morphology, weather morphology, microclimate identification, weather pattern and natural event changes that makes them look different. Using an Internet image search is nowhere near how visually amazing an "images only" option is in an actives thread. Particularly environmental changes and habitats over time. Everything looks different outside and everything changes, from substrate to flora and fauna, and the 3rd and 4th quarters of a picking season are a lot more different and foraging begins to become an aquired skill. Images at that point are crucial.

in the mushroom picture of the day thread very frequently post a bunch of unrelated crap and I have to scroll for sometimes almost a page to find the next picture.
to those of us who want to browse the pictures this feature being removed is very annoying. please reverse it. thank you.

The problem with the "Images Only" function wasn't really the fact that it jacked the page numbers. That was annoying for someone with OCD tendencies like myself , but I wouldn't remove a useful feature just for aesthetic reasons. The problem was that in long threads, it badly impacted the performance of the site. The fix for the performance issues will as a side effect also fix the page numbers. But I gotta rewrite the functionality because the previous approach can't scale; we need to handle it a different way. I do know this is a useful feature and I appreciate the reminder, I'll try and make this a higher priority.
