excellent man, thank you very much
ill go test it out just now
edit: i was just thinking, would it be possible to only have this hack affect a certain forum.
i run a music production site, with various sub forums.
but the one forum that contains the most attachments is the samples forum.
right now people need 50 posts before they can even view it, would be good to let them view it but not download until they have enough posts.
and having it not effect any other forum would be great.
dunno if thats possible though
let me know
thanks again
TM
