File System Object (FSO) - Installed
Persits AspUpload - Installed
Dundas Upload - Installed
SoftArtisans FileUp (SA FileUp) - NOT Installed

okay -
as an example my settings are:
PersistsAspUpload
allocated upload space 10MB
image types should be saying jpg;jpeg;gif;png
maximum image file size is up to you - i have it set at 500KB
By default in your forum directory you should have a folder called uploads, with a folder inside called public
As each user uploads a image, a new folder for that user is automatically generated, so they have their own unique folder, and cannot see images that are in your folder for example
Does that help or are we nearing a dead end? LOL

Well I just joined up and posted an image (uploaded one and posted) and it worked for me. Maybe you need to refresh your browser. I am using Firefox by the way and not Internet Explorer in case you are

Well thanks again Mr TWS!
You did and I can now also! I had not bothered to check again as the upload columns were not appearing on the admin pages.. I presume that means that image uploads once successfully enabled now are enabled across all forums for all groups?
That doesn't sound right tho does it? I wanted to be able to restrict some forums or groups, just allowing certain areas to have photos..
At least the uploading element is working but I will have to ask web wiz why I cannot do the above when I could in the earlier version

You can choose which groups are allowed to upload images in the admin area Neil

But thats what I am saying, no such option is visible on ANY of the admin areas that it should be!
Every single admin page that would do this is as below, the upload options are just missing! I rebooted pc in case something was stuck but this is not right at all. As you established image uploading is now working but no access is there to change permissions so its available to all groups in all forums, which is wrong.

You are looking in the wrong place mate - Admin> Upload Settings> that is over to your left under Setup and Configuration (so dont click the big icon) and then see Image Upload - just tick who can do what:

No I got that ages ago. The issue here for me is that previously you could set permissions for individual forums as well, I was thinking that something was still wrong but perhaps this is changed on ver 9 series. As below from a forum using ver 8 I can set some forums to be enabled for upload and some not. I can also there set group permissions for that particular forum. Thats not an improvement if there is just one blanket permissions to be set in the upload settings page and no way to control individual forums upload rights.. or can you on your version?
The example table below is on EVERY groups permissions settings
