Images

SteamGifts offers a unique solution to images, and rather than embedding them inline, images are converted to attachments and appended to the end of comments. Images are hidden by default, and users can toggle their visibility using the View attached image link. Refer to the bottom of this post to see the result of the below code. The included text will be used as both the title and alt attribute for the image.
