For starters there is posting images without a third-party site. Then we could add notifications.
The external images can be considered a minor inconvenience, yes, if one happens to post images often. As for notifications, I have just turned them on in my preferences. I have yet to experience if and how they work.
Lots of people post lots of images on lots of fora. It's been a thing for years.
The only notification thing I can see in Preferences is to send an email when a member you have previously marked as a friend posts. This is another third-party requirement/unnecessary step. I was thinking more in terms of clicking on follow the thread and, if necessary, clicking a notifications icon whenever I log on to the forum.
A reply window with all the necessary formatting options present rather than having a bare-bones window and a "full editor" window would be good too. Being able to quote just a specific piece of text rather than the entire post . . .
