HOW DO YOU MAKE A LINK NOT A FUCKING LIGHTBOX! CHRIST I HATE THIS BULLSHIT! GODDAMNED DISCOURSE DID THIS BETTER!
I just had the exact same problem in another thread. The best I could find is writing this (note the space inside the link's text content, which somewho magically disappears in the rendered post [or least in the preview]):
[ http://butthug.com/post/143935856845/hatched](http://butthug.com/post/143935856845/hatched)which will get you this:

SO SIMPLE.

@Zecc Or we could just turn off that broken shitty onebox plugin that DoSes half the Internet and doesn't fucking work.
But no. Boomzilla likes it.
-
@Zecc I'd rather just see the picture instead of a link to the page with the picture. It's the funny thread, don't make me work for it.
That said, links work just fine if you don't redundantly put the URL in the label.
Hell... you could upload the image, and put the link on that. That actually works pretty well.

By ignoring all the markbbcodedown bullshit and building it by hand in HTML the way God intended.

The issue is with links, not images. Edit to clarify: I agree with your point about this being the funny stuff thread, but there are other threads. Sometimes one only wants to paste a link.
For example, consider linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames.
If you write out the URL in the middle of a line, this happens:"I'm linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames inside this line."
If you write
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames), it still embeds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#FramesThe link in the embed points to the right fragment, but the text content is misleading.
Even if you write this:
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element#Frames</a>... it will embed.

When the text content is the URL itself, it doesn't matter whether you use markbbcodedown or good ole HTML. It makes a lightbox.

https://accessibility.oit.ncsu.edu/training/accessibility-handbook/link-text-url.html
Whenever possible and appropriate, the visible link text should be readable text and not the same as the hyperlink text. Some hyperlinks are very long and become cumbersome to display and read on the page. There are times when it is appropriate to display the link text as the actual URL, and in those cases it is fine to do so.
I would add that, for NodeBB, the cases when it's appropriate to display the link text as the actual URL is equivalent to "when you don't care if the onebox plugin jumps in and mangles it".

Put in a pull request with a similar treatment to what I did for youtube:
Only by itself by boomzillawtf · Pull Request #22 · NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-iframely
This change prevents links put in the middle of a sentence from being converted, which surprises users. Links must be by themselves on a line to be converted.

So
<a href="here's your fucking attribution"><img src="/uploads/shit.jpg"></a>.Oh, look, I said that:

@anotherusername I ain't got time for that.
One drag-and-drop, one control-v, bam. I'm outie.
-
@blakeyrat yet you have time to argue endlessly about it instead of working.
-
@anotherusername I'm at work now.
-
here, instead of
 http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=4102just write
[](http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=4102)It's literally just a few characters more. You can even Ctrl-V once more and add the URL under the picture, and then it doesn't onebox because it's not the only thing inside the link.
-
If it's going to be a fucking job I just won't share funny stuff at all.
No I'm not going to type in all that fucking gibberish when I could just be dragging-and-dropping an image then hitting control-V. Fuck your gibberish. And fuck anybody who thinks that gibberish is a good markup language.

Might wanna have a doctor look at that hernia before it gets strangulated.
