When I click on an attachment I get this message:

'neuronybyn, 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 should have enough posts by now and don't have any infractions that I know of. Something going wrong? Anyone else have this problem?

Can you link to a post that you are having this problem with?

There's a few on there and they all don't work for me. It's happened on other threads as well.

That happened to me, especially in the Picture Threads.

Same thing happens to me when I click on the active users list, but I assumed that was intentional.

This might be happening because attachments were enabled when the forum was created. As the forum grew, I disabled attachments to conserve our resources. The settings should allow members to view what has already been posted but not upload anything new. When I upgraded to vBulletin 3.7, the way attachments were loaded changed so it might have also affected the permissions. If this is the case, I'm not going to bother changing the setting since there probably won't be more uploads. I'll just make all the attachments into regular picture links since there are only 84 of them.

Yes, this is intentional. It was laggy and server intensive, so it has been disabled for now.
