I just noticed the 'attach a file' button at the bottom of the posting windows on my gold forum. Has that only just turned up, or have I simply been oblivious to it? very cool. Thanks Activeboard! There's nothing on the control panel about it. Couple of questions: 1. Will there be an option to switch it on or off - perhaps only have it available to admin/moderators or members who have posted more then x number of times? 2. Any chance of changing the size limits? 3. How about restricting the file types - eg no executable files? 4. What are the cost implications for gold users - at the moment we're charged per hit - presumably there is also a charge evey time a file is uploaded or downloaded? 5. Having played a bit more, I notice that it's only available on the first post of a thread. Any plans to expand this? Ta.

We may be adding more customization options later, but for the moment these are fixed. The size limit is small by design-- it's large enough to attach a small text file or image, but not large enough for posting mp3s, video, warez, etc.

4. What are the cost implications for gold users - at the moment we're charged per hit - presumably there is also a charge evey time a file is uploaded or downloaded?

Acutally no-- currently there is no charge for uploading or downloading and it doesn't count as a view... we may have to change change some limits if the system is abused however.
