why cant I preview skins?
 

I want to know what I am going to download when I get VB, I have a few days to search and I dont want to do it when I have a bunch of users waiting. why cant I get anything but the small thumbnail?

dan1088352,

You are currently showing up as unlicensed. To be able to download hacks and/or receive support here at vBulletin.org, we ask you to please click here (vB-germany users click here) and enter your email address, to show us that you are licensed.

You will need to use your customer number and password (which will be in the email you got when you paid for your license) to access that page. Please note that your email is case sensitive. The update of your account may take up to one hour.

Thank you.

that wasent my question, I was asking why I cant as much as preview it with the images attached. I am going to get VB soon, but I want to know what skins I want before I buy it.

dan1088352 the reason you can not preview the attachments is because you are unlicensed. You will have to wait until you have a valid licence before you can view them.

Thanks,
Mat

This problem has been discussed before - it doesn't really make sense to prevent unlicencend users viewing images - but without a mod, it's not possible to allow the downloading of just images so they have to suffer. Perhaps this can be fixed now the forum is 3.5.

I'm fully aware of that - The reason you can't is because you are showing up as unlicenced :)

I say again, I wasent asking why I couldnt view it, I was asking why you dont let the unliscened preview it.

Paul M, thanks for the answer

because unlicensed members would then have access to codes and downloads etc, its not as simple as to just let you see pictures, etc etc

Here's a quote from Xenon in reply to a different thread. It goes along with what Paul M said.

It would definitely be a difficult modification to make.
