Hi,

I am moving to a new web host and will need to migrate all of my files and the database. I will set up a new database with the same name as the old one at the new host and will import...

[nayomie]

I kept seeing the option because I was logged in as an administrator. I logged in as a regular user and that option automagically disappears!...

[nayomie]

I already have permissions set to "no", but I'd rather not have members asking for permission because they see that it's an available option. I'd rather just not deal with attachments from the...

In the post new thread and reply templates there is a table with additional options.

What code to I have to comment out or remove to get rid of the section "attach files"/manage...

thanks -

I haven't fooled with any of the cookie settings and I do recall that the default is 900. We sometimes do put a lot of thought into what we write so I think I'll go ahead and raise...
