[Forum] No permissions to post attachments?

[JPMiddleton]

I am getting the following message when I try and post an attachment image in a reply on The Product Forum

JPM, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I have looked at various permissions but can't find the problem, could someone help please?

Have you checked the usergroup manager > usergroup > Attachment Permissions

Thanks for the reply, yup. Set to 'Yes'. Confused.

There is also the space limit there.

Also look at AdminCP > Settings > Options > message attachment options > limit space taken and attachments per post. What are those settings?

It is set to 0, so there is no disk space limit.

And attachments per post? That better not be set to 0 also.

OK, it sounds like the settings are correct, so now for the fun stuff.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all Products except the vBulletin Blog and vBulletin CMS (Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Disable) AND uncheck all the plugins except those related to the vBulletin Blog and vBulletin CMS by (Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager). You must do BOTH of those steps in order to disable all non vBulletin Modifications.

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

Do you have the same problem?

Problem solved (well, it will be) think it's vBseo related.
