Drupal forum posts with images dilema I want to use Drupal to make a forum where users can post either as text or upload images. This can be achieved with the Comment Upload module.

However if you attach an image and try to post without any text, you get an error message saying 'Comment field is required.'. 

Are there any solutions to this? Is it possible to remove the validation causing this issue?
Seems like 'Comment Field is required' when clicking the Attach is similar (identical?) to the issue you encountered.

That issue has status Closed (fixed), and also contains a patch for it.
