Version 9 uses a different upload system wereby as well as uploading in forums users also have a file manager in their Member Control Panel.

Instead of selecting which forums you can upload in, in the Upload Settings page you select which groups are allowed to upload files and/or images as well as setting how much allocated space your users have for uploading.

Thanks for the explanation and muchos thanks to Mr TWS who helped me figure this out on Saturday.  It was a bit of a mess really since the corrupted zip file that I only downloaded on Friday threw everything off course and then the change to the upload system from ver 8 as you described was not apparent for ages.
 
I did prefer the old method as limiting which forums users can upload to was better for me, I just thought I still had a problem and did not realise this feature had been changed.
 
No harm done anyway, just a few more hours of my life lost to endless software problem solving!  I am kinda used to that and never give up on a problem!
 
I do like your forum software anyway and will adapt to the new upload system now I understand it.

Neil,
Are you saying that you want to Limit which user is able to upload?  That feature is still available if you didn't notice.. it is in the Admin Section of the forums.. Under the uploading section.. I might be wrong but that is how I read your comment..

No not saying that, I understand how to limit individual users. As I said before, in ver 8 you could select which individual forums allowed image upload as well.
 
Or you could allow image upload in a particular forum, but within that forum you could select to allow, say, admin and moderators to upload but deselect other groups.  These settings were previouly enabled in each forum admin settings page as I explained earlier.
 
In fact on the asp pages I refer to above you will notice that the two options to display image and file upload are now =false, in ver 8 they were enabled.
 
As explained by web wiz its just that they changed their method of allowing uploads.  Might be better but I was used to the old way.
