Is there a way you can view a thread with only posts containing images? Might be a neat feature.

There's an option in the search function for this. I never used it but I tested it out and it works but the problem is a lot of threads are old and the images are long gone. You'd need to sort by date and everything too and get really specific.

Currently, you can use the site's search function for posts that contain specified keywords, which also contain images. And at the bottom of each thread, you can search keywords within the thread. But, to my knowledge, there is no current way to search a specific thread(Number) for posts containing images, or any other attributes such as links, attachments, etc. Unless, of course, you enter an exact title, and even then you only get a results list, whereas all other posts will be displayed when you visit one of the results.
I think what I'm actually asking for--essentially a way to view only posts with images within a flattened thread--could be accomplished simply by adding a toggle at the bottom of threads. That way you could view grow logs, photo contests, etc. without all those pesky words.

I've added a small "Show Images Only" link in the "Extra information" box at the bottom of each thread. Does that fit the bill?

Okay...now I'm having a Mandela effect moment here. I could have sworn this feature already existed in some past instance of the forums. Anyways...

Heh, I'd love to mess with you and tell you it's your imagination but you're right though. andy had coded a short-lived version of this feature but it was buggy and had problems in production. I removed it with the intention of rewriting it, but never actually did. And eventually I forgot. So thank you for reminding me!
