In order for people to use image DW emoticons they'd have to choose from ones from their own account, and free accounts can't hold very many. Img HTML tags are allowed in replies, however. Maybe if we could have a sister image hosting account at a place like imgur.com for instance, that would hold all our favorites. These image hosting websites will also provide an easily copied link address. Imgur used to also provide full HTML posting codes for a photo (in various formats), but recently changed it to just provide the bare link. I have another image hosting account at Photobucket, but they've become so much of a "clickbait" service it really slows down the ability to find what you want.

I could also create an ad-free webpage on my personal site which could be used similarly... but none of these solutions is as easy or seamless as just finding an image and clicking on it to automatically add it to the post :(
