How Can I add the default not-Login (guests) usergroup to the attachment permission page in ACP, so that I can allow guest to see thumbnails and download certain files with certain extensions in specific forums? Yup I know how to allow guests to download and view pic attachments and thumbnails with forum permission. But it's not extension-specific..

Usergroup Manager > find guest usergroup
Can Download Attachments <-------- check yes

I can do the same thing in forum permission to make guest can view and download pics in certain forums.
My old question was how to limit it to certain file extensions....

Apologies, I thought you meant to allow upload of attachments.
Yes, you can allow guests to view attachments, you can modify attachments permissions here:
Admin Control Panel > Attachments > Attachment Permissions > each .file extention is listed there per usergroup. Modify the guest usergroup for those that should be no and set it to no.

It seems like this is a bug in the system that many people are looking for an answer to.
I noticed Unregistered / Not Logged In is missing in Attachment Permissions as well.
It doesn't make sense that we can limit registered members, but cannot limit unregistered members for specific attachments.
I have that same issue of hotlinking attachments.
