Not to step on toes, but for me in the main board of General Discussion I too do not see the Add Attachment button, BUT I do see for the Miniature board. This might be what he is confused about maybe, I don't know, just trying to be helpful...okay, I am going back to Zoids. _________________ Karagin Only the dead have seen the end of war. - Plato

Chihawk and I might be able to see it because we are mods. But oddly enough I can't find anywhere in the permissions pages that sets the ability to add attachments. I winder if it's ties in with the ability to create a poll or something weird. _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator

Appears this is true! I think the ability to modify the Attachments authorizations is not visible to the end user anywhere in the admin modules. It should be, but isn't. I think this is because attachments posting was more or less a bastardized add-on after the fact. It appears a lot of the "hooks" within the code that need to be called to configure it in the proper admin modules, aren't being called.
Short and sweet of it is, the ability to attach on certain forums exists while it does not exist in others (save for admins/mods).
The ones that don't have any authorization set (which means theoretically non-registered users could attach, though you still need to be registered to post, so there's that) is 'Play-By-Web', '3rd Succession War Campaign', and 'Simulator Pods'. These were created last and clearly got the default and I clearly forgot they needed updating directly in the database.
The only ones where it is set for registered users is 'Design Submissions', 'Miniatures and Terrain', and 'Classic BattleTech Fiction'. So this seems deliberate. And I either did it in the DB or broke the front-end at some point.
Bigger question. Can anyone think of any rationale reason why posting attachments shouldn't be allowed here, or anywhere, for that matter? _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator

Screw it, I just updated all forums through the database to allow for attachments posting! If folks abuse it we'll smack you around a bit. Not that I see that happening anyways.
If someone who is not a mod or an admin can confirm they now see the attachments posting options when replying or creating a new post, that would be great!
Thanks... _________________ Mordel Blacknight - Site Administrator
