I've made some changes to the code that allows you to view or download attached files in the forum - It still needs some tweaking, but basically guests and newbie members should not be able to view a fullsize image or download an attachment.  Although they can view the small thumbnails (if it's an image that is attached to the message). These changes ONLY apply to the "Plans and Drawings" message area, all others should work normally and everyone should be able to view everything! I hope that makes sense?

Anyone with a higher access level - ie. Jnr members, full members, or senior members, should be able to view everything as normal, and download any files....

Please let me know if you experience any problems with the changes I've made.

A sensible route to go down. This should ensure that only those genuinely interested in developing the Paddleduck ethos can obtain the information which has been made publicly available for the enlightenment of all.

cheers

Thanks Jim - I'm sick and tired of those users who are only here to grab what they can without contributing anything in return. Hopefully the changes I've made will put a top to that!

The only people these changes should annoy are those that are just here to take without giving anything back in return. Hopefully our "real" members will appreciate why it's being done?

Hi PD's....Jim & Eddy..as a non administrator - member..[literally] I do not see electronically what new log on people are down loading so am sort of lost here

....I would have thought any paddle message or content would be in spreading the    word
