possible to support image-hoster in bulletin boards?

[AndyK70]

What I am thinking of is... to identify the thumbnails in bulletin boards that are linked to the full version of the image for imageshack and sites like that.

in gaming-BBs there are often screenshots which I liked to see them in full just hovering over the thumbnail with my mouse.

This is something that would definitely require a further research. Can you please help me with some examples of those bulletin boards sites. Thanks!

For pictures hosted by imgeshack it is very easy.
When you see something like this:
(img src="http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9727/12190541.th.jpg" alt="Bild")
just get the url, strip of the ".th" before the ".jpg" and you get the full size image:
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9727/12190541.jpg

Sometimes users embed the full size image, but the bb-software limits the size, as specified by the admin:
(img style="width: 555px; height: 416px;" src="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8758/1217232012.jpg" alt="Bild")
There you get the url for the image without any complications.

Using directupload.net the code looks like this:
(img style="width: 160px; height: 132px;" src="http://s5.directupload.net/images/110121/temp/bsv6vsmo.jpg" alt="Bild")
Just strip off the "/temp" from the url and you get the full size image

This again is when the user embeds the full size image this time when using directupload.net:
(img style="width: 555px; height: 416px;" src="http://s13.directupload.net/images/110207/3dcxhbh9.jpg" alt="Bild")

Sometimes users use the attach file method for images:
(img style="width: 555px; height: 416px;" src="./download/file.php?id=767" alt="1_10_19_42_19.jpg")

Next one is an example where the user had uploaded the image to the gallery board associated with the game:
(img style="width: 555px; height: 419px;" src="http://file.gamescampus.eu/ShotOnline/Gallery/1_25_23_14_53.jpg" alt="Bild")
Same as above, it is only size limited by the bb-software, just get the plain url...

These are the first, but I can look out for more if you like.

Edit: changed <> to (), was wondering the html-code was really interpreted instead of just displayed as text.
