Yo I heard it's against site rules to post attachments on the forum. New users do it all the time and people always get on their asses about it and then the user gets frustrated because they can't figure out why the option exists in the first place if they can't use it.

Case in point: http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-25067-...#pid551823

Admin Control Panel >
Users and Groups >
Groups >
Edit >
(Select Usergroup) >
and under the Forums and Posts tab, untick the Can post attachments? option checkbox.

Rinse and repeat for each usergroup.

^ If you do it this way, then you can just leave it so Mods and Admins only can post attachments, Just Like The Spaghetti Monster Intended.
I just wrote that from memory rofl so if it's not those exact menus anymore, I apologize.

But if you want to totally deny it from ever existing on the forum, you can also remove the attachment box in the templates, too.
(But you have to shout "FUCK ATTACHMENTS" IRL as loud as you can before doing the next step in order for this to have the full effect.
So if you live in an apartment complex, you should be okay with the prior process as it'll have a similar effect with better control and no risk of breaking the themes)

in newthread, newreply, and delete, just find and delete

Code:

{$attachbox}

Then no longer will posts like

WHY IS THERE EVEN AN OPTION TO DO THIS!? JESUS!

inb4 someone says "OH, YOU SHOULD READ THE TUTORIAL!" well, I LOOKED FOR A TUTORIAL, AND IT JUST LEAD ME TO THE SUBMISSIONS THREAD, AND I HAVE ALOT OF REASONS TO BE CONFUSED.
IF THEY'RE GONNA ADD AN "ADD ATTACHMENT" TO THE MENU, I'M PROBABLY GONNA USE IT. IF IT'S BANNED, OOPS, SHOULD'NT OF PUT THAT OPTION THERE!

exist.



** also if this is implemented into the forum can I get a hug from one of the staff members (preferably Mighty Jetters or Kat) please? Just, you know, to confirm the changes went into effect.
