some repair work on the Forum software

[ROllerton]

I am still working on a problem with the thumbnail feature for photos that are attached to a posting.

I have the support people from jelsoft (the software company from England) looking at the problem.

At times you might find that the Forum is not available or the server is too busy to allow you to login, this should be temporary as we look at the problem
which hopefully is caused by some lever or knob not being in the right position.

Some of you might get a kick out of knowing that because of the self imposed big hurry we were in to get the Forum restored after the server failure and that I never read the manuals when this new stuff was installed?

Re: some repair work on the Forum software

A quick peek at the manual for Version 3 shows some info...

There are two permissions that pertain to attachments.
Ability to Post Attachments
Ability to View Attachments
Both of the permissions are controllable at the forum and usergroup level, meaning you can allow viewing of permissions by specific usergroups in specific forums and view versa.

Please view the Forum Permissions and Usergroups section of the admincp for usage.

Or even this in the admin cpanel:

Attachments

vBulletin has the ability to allow your visitors to attach files to their messages, uploading the files to your server.

The Attachments Manager allows you to search for attached files, view statistics about all the attachments stored on your server, and configure the parameters for what file types you would like to allow to be posted.

hope this helps

To Bob & Rob,

Just a quick note to let you all know that your efforts are much appreciated and that you guys are doing a fantastic job.

Rob, I just found out today why the Brittish aren't big in the computer market. You all haven't found a way to make them leak oil!!
