Announcements can restrict by group but attachments can't?

[SJ77]

Hi in 4.1.16, Announcements can now be restricted by member group however Attachment types cannot?

Need compelling reasons to convince people to pay for subscription.

I would love ability to make the subscription selling point "Can upload video".  (attachment types could be set in ACP per group)
That's a compelling reason to upgrade.

Right now there just aren't enough reasons to upgrade.

I should actually have titled this thread "Need more reasons to sell as upgrade benefits" 
post/forum access is great but would like more things to offer paying subscription customers.

"Can upload video" while others can't seems logical and easy.

Thank you

Maybe I really am the only one interested in having more benefits for paying subscription customers.

I haven't moved to 4.1 yet, but one of the enticements I offer on my subscription memberships is additional PM capacity, larger upload storage, limited and unlimited editing times, etc.

Hopefully these features are still in 4.1!

Yep. And more.

allowing subscription members to upload video attachments interest anyone? (all others can upload images only)

Restricting by type makes a lot of sense, yep. Especially if you want to stay mostly with the core software.

If you find a big third party app works well to create a big feature for your community then you can definitely restrict that, maybe even by levels in itself. So, you would have basic access to the feature for everybody, then more aspects of it go behind the subscription.

@superj707 How do you change the permission settings on announcements?

Although I do not sell subscriptions on my site (free and always will be) I understand your point of view. For me, I personally, find IPB4 a little bit more restrictive (then other releases of IPB) for what I trying to do. Hopefully they make a few changes. 

I would like to offer more privileges on my site for members that actually contribute something. In your case, members that subscribe, same thing I suppose.
