It's not. (And why in the hell do you even know all that for such a worthless addition to the forum but not know what I'm trying to get across?)
The uploader really only causes confusion and is the worst option for adding images to the forum, so I think it's a very valid question considering it's been ignored for several pages now.
Sorry. Was tired and misread "the image uploader" as "uploaded images" or something along those lines.
The image uploader is probably here to stay, if only to avoid the hassle of doing anything about it. I think it exists with all of its compression to avoid them having to pay for more storage from people uploading large images, but it seems flawed and inconsistent. The best option would probably be to strongly recommend embedding images from your own website/blog or websites such as Imgur.
I never said it was an invalid question. Your best bet is probably harassing Jeremy, though. I'm in no position to say much other than vague suggestions.
