yes, but isn't that a kind of bug for us who have their own servers?

Other can't get files I put in the forum (using RTE) and I cant get files others have uploaded!

When a file is uploaded using the forum the http part is not included in what is used for the location of the file.

All that is stored is the path from the forum's HTML pages to the folder the file is uploaded to, not the full domain eg.

If you upload a file called file.zip the link to it stored in the post is:-

<a href="uploads/myUser/file.zip">myFile</a>

So it shouldn't matter how the file is uploaded.

If this is not the case check your settings are correct in the admin section.

I agree with AnthraX

The path stored in db when someone "out there" uploads is http://iggstrom.homeip.net... (the dyn ip adress) but the domain name I set in admin setup is www.iggstrom.com (my domain name) and the path stored in db when I upload from within the local network is http://server... (server is the name of my server )

By the way, my forus is v7.6 and server is iis6.0 (w2k3)

Either you are runing a modified version or you have changed something then.

I didn't write the code to include http://domainname.com in the path to uploaded files.

Have a look at the code yourself in the upload_files.asp file the code I wrote takes the path to the upload folder entered in the upload configuration page in the admin area and adds the file name to the end, this is then placed into the post in the format I mention in my last post.

So unless the forum has come alive and is wirtting it's own code this is how paths to uploaded files are stored when using the built in file upload features of the forum.

Ok, I didn't modify the file, maybe some mod I installed. I shall restore the file with the original one as soon as I'm back from work.
