That's just a limitation of the software as it stands. 

 

Maybe an update will come out at some point to address it, but it's not something we can influence or change on our end by somehow adjusting a setting.

 

To continue with what Mac said, the software already allows a lot of leeway in the way an image is presented to it.  A lot of dynamically served images, while they may be a legitimate format such as GIF, JPG, PNG, etc. are presented via PHP or other active scripting language in such a way that our forum software doesn't recognize the resulting URL as a valid image.

 

IPB errs on the side of caution to content injection which would allow malicious code to more easily execute in the context of your browser because of an image linked from a post on our forum. 

 

This is by design and won't change.
