As you can see, I have added what is regarded as the best add-on for phpbb forums, the attatchment mod.
You can upload pictures directly to the site, cutting out the need to use any 3rd party like imageshack etc.
You can also upload other files for people to download. Please be very careful with this feature. Anything illegal, eg cracks or full version software is NOT allowed.
I can impose quotas etc, and will do this at a later date - when I can see how people decide to use this feature.
I will be removing the "crappy" add image mod, only installed yesterday but its not very good, and no longer needed.
Feel free to post your comments.
Cheers,
Admin.
