Attachments Issue ?
 

I'm new to the whole vB scene and so far I've done 3 installs ... 2 pretty straight forward and the newest one is going to be a little more complicated.

I understand that vB uses the database to store attachments. The problem is that I'm not on my own server and the hosting company charges a few more $$$ for MySQL diskspace. What I've tried doing is posting links to the files on my regular diskspace but, this takes a lot longer and usually ends up getting edited a few times before it's right.

My question is ... is there a hack that will allow me to post the attachment but instead of holding it in the MySQL db, on regular diskspace?

I know that having my own server would be the right way of doing it but, I'm just starting out, I don't want to over extend myself before I know that this is going to work.

Thanks in advance.

There is a hack released here but it's long-winded and very prone to errors:

Thanks Mist ... I found it 5 mins after I posted (not very nice of me too not come back and say something ... sorry)

Great hack ... just needs some fine tuning. The instructions aren't thorough enough. Still working on it.

Thx

Your Welcome :)
