Add Attachment in PM.

dschwab9 · December 30, 2003, 05:00:13 PM

This would be really nice feature. It think I've had about 5000 occasions where I need to send a member a image or something by PM, and I have to upload it to a web server and then put it in the message. To be able to attach it would be awesome.

klumy · December 30, 2003, 05:03:42 PM

a like this suggestion, too

Grudge · December 30, 2003, 05:57:22 PM

I have to say I'm all for this too. Would be pretty easy to do and very useful

Anguz · December 30, 2003, 06:06:37 PM

I agree

but I'd like to ask for a permission for accounts to have this feature, cause I don't want members attaching tons on files to their PMs... I already have tons of megs used up with the messages alone

If its implemented, it should be a permissions, its too risky in my oppinion, what if a libelous pic is attached that the admin cant check - the members should use email.

Probably something that should be a mod?

Grudge · December 30, 2003, 08:44:56 PM

oh - you mean like "dodgy" pics. that's true. But if admin had any reason to suspect this he could easily check the pictures himself by download and renaming them

Well, they could attach any pic they want to a post, or put in on another server and send a pm with it embeded, so I don't see the issue there??

^ I think it's the point that if they stick it in a post a moderator will see it. And that you are personally liable for any images that may be uploaded to your server whereas a link to someone else's server is not your problem.

Personally I'd love the idea and I know I can trust my users. However, if I ran a porn site with a forum then I would be concerned. Luckily I am not a porn baron.

I would really like if it was possible to attach an attachment to outgoing personal messages.

nave · May 03, 2004, 12:03:32 PM

i second that

Daniel D. · May 03, 2004, 12:04:30 PM

This wish already exists.

Tomer · May 03, 2004, 01:31:06 PM

Ahhh very sorry, I was in a hurry and couldnt search, can you merge this on with the current thread.

... but if you ran a porn site... then you probably wouldn't care... your server would already have a bunch of pictures already as bad as any thing that might be attached...

oh... and I too like this idea... permission based of course.

Room11 · May 03, 2004, 02:58:11 PM

Great idea! - I think that even IPB 1.3 doesnt have that..

Tristan Perry · May 03, 2004, 03:46:30 PM

I'd like this as well, permissions though

pseudoelmo · May 03, 2004, 07:59:59 PM

This feature, then, is included? If so, as of what version?

Ben_S · May 04, 2004, 03:54:52 PM

It is not included.

ryanbsoftware · November 03, 2004, 01:11:26 PM

i think a nice feature, or at least mod would be to have attachements for pm's and then also be able to set attachment permissions for pm's too.
