discussion Just curious - how does stuff get into the Media category?

[Lysrin]

At the top of the page, next to WHAT'S NEW, there's a MEDIA drop down. Stuff does get in there, but often it is images that I haven't seen in others posts.

I review almost every post these days so I was just wondering how does stuff get tagged or end up in the MEDIA section?

Seems automatic, and a bit creepy how it picks up anything anyone's ever posted!

I personally have no idea..... it's always seemed to me that it's an orphaned feature which hasn't been fully implemented, although you're right it does seem like it's random.

There's a few images in there that look like they've probably been used to post BST related screenies into PMs. (Like tracking).

Looks like folks can create albums so maybe some folks have used it to host post pics rather than the "attach files" function?

Some of it was probably some weird sort of spam attempt, hopefully that is removed now...
