Hi,

I have limited space on my shared server so I do not want users attaching many images/attachments to a post. So I have "Attachments Per Post" in the ACP limited to 3 attachments.

I figure if they need more then 3 attachments per post, they can put them all in a ZIP file.

However, because of the way vBulletin works. My Admin account is now limited to 3 attachments per article. My articles usually have multiple diagrams included in them.

I'm not sure why Admins are not exempt from the attachment limit, but they aren't. So I need to figure out how to keep this Attachments Per Post setting at 3, and yet allow my admin account to have multiple attachments.

I have an understand of PHP but I'm not an expert. I've been looking and I believe that I need to modify the newattachment.php file to ignore that Attachments Per Post setting if the current user is in the Admin usergroup.

By playing with this it seems that the only enforcement of this rule is in that file, when the person clicks the "upload" button to upload a new attachment.

If I set the Attachments Per Post to 15, and upload 15 attachments to an article, then reset the Attachments Per Post to 3. The article loads fine even though it has more attachments then are currently allowed. So it appears the only enforcement is when you click that upload button.

Does anyone know how to modify this to exempt the admin usergroup?
