Security Warning - Please Read Allowing users to upload their own files and images requires that write and modify permissions are enabled on the upload directory. This can be a security issue as a hacker can use this to hack a web site. If you are concerned about security DO NOT ENABLE UPLOAD FEATURES!! Maybe I missed it, but where does one enable/disable the images/files upload? |

In the page Admin -> File and Image Upload Configuration By default it is disabled, so it will only be available if you have enabled it in the page above and given users/groups permission to upload in forums using the permissions system. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks borg. for some reason, in the Admin -> File [...] Cfg I have no option to enable or disable uploads other than the avatar option. I really want to avoid people uploading files/pictures through the forum. From what I understand, its there, but the only way to avoid users to upload files is to play with the User Group Permissions. Is that correct? |

As long as you haven't given any group or individual rights to upload files and images then it will be disabled.
