It would save unnecessary SQL queries and make the board run faster.
Like I said, if they used the industry stardard 92%, like they should be doing, instead of a fixed width, we wouldn't have this problem.

The first is kinda stupid, don't you think? I mean, shoudn't it be only superusers can UPLOAD attachments and everyone can see them?

The extra packets sent out would crash the board in 5 minutes. (well maybe a little longer) When you load a forum index, it loads and cache's all the previews from each topic on that page. Multiply that by +1000 users online, whilst new topics started every 30 seconds and you've got yourself a complete meltdown. But it would be fun to count the query strings.
Easy fix to the Lang file.
If he does it, they should be hosted remotley.
Now, my request Lensman, would be to remove the stupid post icons. If you want to do that- and need help- I will.
