    Sorry to bother you guys, but once in a while, the "Add Attachments" panel doesn't show up. I think it only happens in the private convos, but it might've happened in regular forums when commenting with the advanced editor. Also, it's not working for me at the moment writing this topic!

    Also, I noticed this weird bug in The Lounge's topic history:

    Any fixes would be highly appreciated!

    If topic is locked and you posted in it, a ring will appear under the "Locked" monitor, so this isn't any bug.

    Okay. I'm a little embarrassed now.

    Anyways, is the "Add Attachments" thing also not a bug?

    I think that Adding Attachments is disabled at some sections of the forums.

    As an assumption, I would suggest the reason is related to overuse/abuse of the function.

    Markey's right on the money. Now for the reason why. It's only enabled in sub-forums where it's actually needed. It was enabled forum wide, and some cunt abused it by uploading illegal imagery. So, it's been limited across the forum for years as a result.

    Personally I think you're already too kind to keep them enabled somewhere, I'd never allow attachments on any forum I administrate, people should just learn how to host their files somewhere else.


    Yeah I know it's ironic for me to say this after Libero decided to shut down one of my webspaces so most of my posts contain broken links now, but still...
