Title: Kitz Forum - Bug? - Can't see attached images as Guest.
Post by: geep on July 05, 2010, 10:08:41 PM

Hi,
I was just looking at this recent post as a Guest - http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,7624.0.html (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,7624.0.html)
I don't see the 2 attached pictures.

But I do see them when I'm logged in.
I get the same result using Seamonkey, Konqueror and Firefox on Linux + IE6 on Win2k

Seems like a bug?
Firefox automatically logs me in to the forum, so I'm rarely connected as a Guest.
Don't know if this is a longstanding phenomenon or not.

Cheers,
Peter

Its not a bug - its by design. 
You have to be a member + logged in to see any attachments to forum posts.

Is this a security feature or is it simply to encourage guests to register and become members ?

kinda both/several reasons and its the way Id prefer it.   
Ive already  increased the capacity for attachments many, many times over and above what the default SMF is set at
