Not really, AT also mirrors TokyoTosho and also that's not why admin removed anidex as source but whatever.

Yeah, I think just leaving things as links works well enough for now.
Thanks for the ideas!

AT is mostly a nyaa mirror as well. Anidex is just a waste of time due to it breaking and being filled with spam.

95%? that might be true if AT only mirrors from nyaa. You forgot TokyoTosho and Anidex (No Longer Fetched by AT).

*another

not really, subsplease has it own website, if nyaa were somehow taken down (but I'd rather doubt it)banother will just rise. I never rely on one site. I use AT because it's convenient. One stop shop for anime. remember torrenting is just a protocol.

from another site ofc, one down another will rise, it's always been like that.

This is just a mirror, if nyaa dies then so does 95% of everything that gets posted here.

You want to be stubbornly naive! Without Nyaa and TokyoTosho, how you and AT are going to obtain torrent links?! 0.o

No? the fact I can still torrent from AnimeTosho proves that you don't know what torrenting is actually all about. As I said, sites come and go. But torrents will always be there for you.

That's just wrong! They are making it harder and harder for the whole piracy scene and torrent sites aren't spared either. There are many examples from The Pirate Bay to ExtraTorrent to RARBG to recently TorrentGalaxy.

Aw shucks, thanks! But don't look too closely for there are a bunch of grammatical errors that we're too lazy to fix. Like what are these ";" things doing outside of code?

Gosh, It feels like reading a book. It's a compliment btw. Nice and neat.

Absolutely none besides enabling desktop users to be lazy and only preview an image before committing and opening it in a "full-size" tab or window. Stretching the definition of usefulness, perhaps letting users see a preview of an image amongst several when the author does not appropriately label them such as when an author embeds several images without sufficient context to identify each embed. That situation might just be very rare and not worth spending time supporting. We made the suggestion to merely consider all possible avenues; we're not married to it or even the feature itself. In fact, we usually browse on a touchscreen so we wouldn't appreciate it ourselves. In the spirit of exhausting all options before completely dismissing the feature, here are a couple more ideas:

Clicking on the image "icon" (not the link) will expand the image inline with the text. Users can view multiple images at once and are not limited to mouse/stylus users. However, this introduces the potential that the embed ruins the compact reading experience unless the user actively collapses the embeds; Considering this feature is targeted towards the lazy, they are unlikely to do that and we are left with the original concern.

Embedded images are added to a gallery or carousel which can be opened in any number of ways (bottom of post, the embed link itself, dropdown/... menu alongside "Reply", etc.). Again, there is not much benefit to clicking a gallery button versus just clicking "Open in new tab" on every image linked - it's purely for the pursuit of laziness. Admittedly, opening a gallery with just one "tap" on a touchscreen is much faster than long-pressing for each link.

The prospect of adding this feature is niche since a large majority of users will not take advantage of it or simply ignore it. Purists will detest  expandable images that break the flow of simple text. The gallery will always be seen as inferior to dedicated services like slow.pics. Seeing a small thumbnail when you really want a full-sized zoomable image would also be lackluster for some users as well.

Perhaps keeping it simple is for the best. UX is no easy feat.

I like the idea in a number of ways, so appreciate the suggestion.
I guess the question now is that if the user has to hover-over to see it, how much of a benefit is it over clicking the link?
