PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Anybody out there know why I cannot post attachments? even though a full member? Comes up in the posting permissions not allowed to post attachments. Admins would you help as the Mods cant appear to Cheers
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Attachments are disabled across the whole forum for everyone. What are you trying to upload?
PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Posted 3 January, 2013 Just pictures as per a lot of other people
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 Upload them to somewhere like Imageshack or Imgur. Alternatively, if they're already on the internet somewhere, enclose the URL of the image in [IMG][/IMG] tags
PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Posted 3 January, 2013 Fair enough but why does the FAQ not say that but tells you that attachments can be added?
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 The FAQ is the default vBulletin-issued set of questions and answers based on everything being left completely open. We've never done that for a number of reasons, the main one being security. Uploading files to the server leaves us open to someone uploading something suspicious and causing problems for the site.
PhilippineSaint Posted 3 January, 2013 Author Posted 3 January, 2013 So don't you think you should change the standard spiel to one that is relevant to this site or can't that be done?
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2013 Posted 3 January, 2013 It's never been a problem before. It's something that could be done at some point, but having spent my entire New Years Eve cleaning up after a hacker, it's quite low down my list of priorities, I'm afraid.
