If you want to prevent a usergroup or groups from having to reply to a thread before downloading attachment you need to do this..

Replace this code ...

PHP Code:

   if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."'  AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) : 


with this this..

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))
{
   if ( !$vbulletin->db->query_first ( "SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='".$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]."'  AND threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]" ) ) :  
} 


Changing x, y, z for your groups that dont need to reply.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to Lynne for her help.
