Add "Clipboard Image" phpBB Ext

Hi!

It would be much easier to add screenshots as attachments if the forum supported pasting images from the clipboard. The popular phpBB extension Clipboard Image (23k downloads) claims to add this capability to phpBB forums like this one. The browser feature that enables this is now widely supported.

Image attachments are clearly an important part of the forum. Being able to upload from your clipboard is probably the top reason why posters use imgur in the first place. Most subforums suggest including screenshots in your post. If it were easier to add screenshots directly (i.e. paste from clipboard instead of the whole save file attachment dance), the quality of posts like bug reports would probably go up.

Good idea and since I was just messing with the forums I went ahead and installed this extension. 👍

Thanks for implementing this! Is it possible to remove the line of garbage below the images?

^^^ The font up there ^^^ appears larger than my message down here --at least on my end-- and it breaks the flow.

To be pedantic: it is technically the same size, just a slightly different font. (Which happens to, visually, seem larger.)
