Fix disable Images via Special:MobileOptions
it's a shame as looking at http://mobile-reportcard.wmflabs.org/#other-graphs-tab it's quite obvious when this broke :)
On a side note, I would like to propose we kill this feature in mobile options. Most browsers take care of this problem these days... what reasoning do we have to keep this exposed to users and that evidence do we have that users actually want this?
I personally wouldn't like to download 1.1MB of images on a 3g/2g connection just to read some info about Obama. However, I'd like to be able to see icons (which browser blocks if blocking of images is enabled).
Agreed, but you probably would want to download the first image. I think we can do better than a kill all switch :) - I can already do that with my browser.
Thanks for fixing this Florian! I guess we should add a browser test to stop this breaking again...
