New Feature Deleting gallery images

For as long as I can remember, we had a lock on gallery images so that once they'd been uploaded, they couldn't be removed.

This was done, so we weren't left with loads of little red X's on the forum as people deleted linked images.

Of course the downside to all this was, images that hadn't been linked couldn't be removed either - which annoyed quite a few people

Anyway, I'm pleased to annouce that this has now changed! When you make a post on the forum now, it is scanned - and any gallery images within it are now locked automatically, but any images which haven't been linked to a post CAN now be deleted/moved by using the "Edit Photo" option from within the gallery.

I thank you and good night

Can linked images no longer be moved like they used to be then?

Nope. Once they are locked they are fixed. Can't be deleted, edited or moved.

there's a lot of nifty bits of code in this forum isn't there!

Found a few bugs in the regex, ammended now - so everything should be picked up.

Is it not possible to make it so that you can add images from the gallery into posts, but when a user deletes them from the gallery, it also deletes them or replaces them with a place-holder thing that says

"Image no longer available, please contact the original poster if you require to see it"

Or something along those lines?!

that's kinda the opposite of how it's meant to work.
