Is there any way of changing how to add images into forum replies ?
Using Jamroom
Yes there is, but its not a better process than what we have right now.
When you 'create' a new forum post, your doing it from a form page. (one of the pages that the Form Designer can add to). Because its on a form page, all of the power of jamroom is there waiting to be used.
But when you 'comment' or 'reply' to a form post your doing that from the display section of the system. (the part that is cached and customizable via the TEMPLATE editor).
When you go back and 'update' a forum post, then your in the form section again.
The upload facility is available in the form section because its ready and waiting to accept/change data.
If we were to change the forum post system to replying into the same section as the create is done (in the form section) then uploads would be able to happen when replying.
The down side of this would be that you dont have the full forum to read right above where you're doing the replying, so it feels weird.
So right now that's the limitation and the reason the forums work like they do. While im writing THIS reply this reply has not yet gone into the datastore, so has no id to attach the file to.
