ghinton Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There needs to be a way to control what attachments people can upload.

Josh Bond Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There's no way to restrict someone from uploading an exe or a specific file type? In 3.x, you could set the file types that someone could attach to a post. Not so in 4.x?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghinton Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I haven't been able to find anywhere to restrict this.Also, image files are not treated as attachments, even though they are attached to the post. You cannot prevent a user group from viewing photo even if they do not have the rights to download attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghinton Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah. I only want jpg, gif, or png. Nothing else is needed for my site, but I have to monitor all upload to make sure nothing inappropriate is added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing people to upload anything can allow people to upload viruses which could result in a liability to sitesTotally agree. I have standardized my forums on zip attachments. There's now nothing stopping rar files being uploaded that some members can't extract without having to install software.And while you're at it IPS please bring back the mime type images for attachments. Text links are very boring. Have both like before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
