How do you know it's those??
It'll probably be possible by commenting out some of the attachment.php code, I'll edit in what it could be in a bit.

Well, i'm running MyBB on slow machine , and picture upload with thumb generation is taking a lot of time ... (i tested same picture upload without thumb generation in SMF and picture is uploaded in less than second , when in MyBB this can take even 15 sec ...) , so i would like to switch off thumbnail generating in MyBB if possible ...

Is this not ACP => Configuration => Posting => Show Attached Thumbnails in Posts => As Download Link...?
Well, seems he's turned off thumbnails there but the image that would be shown as a thumbnail is still being generated.
yes, and same thing if you select "show as download link" - thumbnail is still generated ...

I suppose it's like that so if ever thumbnails are turned on again, there is a thumbnail for all the images where necessary. Otherwise there'd be broken images all over the place.
I had a look in some files and think I know what needs to be edited, I'll look again when I can access Notepad++, unless someone beats me to it
Consider yourself beaten, Mr. Matt...
I think I understand what he means - this isn't tested.
In ./inc/functions_image.php, the easiest thing to do is to comment out the entire contents of the generate_thumbnail() function. That way the function will still be called, but it won't actually do anything. Just sits there, looking pretty...
Things like avatars won't be affected. Although, I don't know what this will mean for the already existing thumbnails - I would imagine they stay as they are...
