Drag Drop image uploading

[redmarine]

Considering that most browsers are getting compatible with HTML 5 I was thinking it would perhaps be a good idea to start taking advantages of the drag drop file on the browser.

What I'm proposing is the ability for users to easily and upload images quickly and painlessly by simply dragging the images into the text editing box.

If the Hiveworkshop then used some sort of file hosting service such as TinyPic or Photobucket to upload the images so and simply wrap the image tags around the link from TinyPic or Photobucket at the dragged point.

I doubt this will ever be done considering this is just an luxury feature and isn't really necessary. However it would be a great addition to the already overwhelming amount of awesome features this site has.

Did you even try this before you posted?





I know I haven't. This is more a suggestion for the vB devs, though.

Well, no. You're probably right it is more a suggestion for the vB developers since they make up most of the site's features.

It would be an interesting feature. But I have no plans on implementing it anytime soon

The thing is that this could also be expanded to maps as well. And perhaps even more than that but yeah...

Yes that would be cool.
But the map flow is already quite high
Perhaps a 2.0 pastebin
