Attachment permissions

[Madal]

So I can't find any way to control permissions for user groups to upload attachments on different forums. I am sure that is an option, right?

No, it was removed on IPS4 due to low cost of hosting/external storage so it wouldn’t be a problem, IIRC.

Per forum: you can control who can download only via permissions.

Per group: you can control total space for each member of the group.

Thanks for letting me know. 

For me it doesn't quite make sense to remove it though.  It is an important feature when you need to restrict some user groups not to post images or attachments. There are many examples when it is necessary.

I believe that other forum platforms have that option available as well.

I'm a little confused as to the response there to be honest. You can indeed control permissions for who can and cant upload attachments

Hi Marc.

He meant the forum permission exiting on IP.Board 3.X. Before you could allow members to upload per forum.

Fair enough. There was no indication of this in the original post, hence the confusion.

My apologies for the confusion here. Thanks for pointing it out Marc. I fixed it in original post.
