thop Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Why aren't users allowed to remove their own attachments? I can understand about editing their posts (well not really, but these are the rules :D) but not about the attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Well I'm pretty sure that you can remove an attachment off of one of your posts, so long as its within the 40 minute allowed editing time, or it is the first post in the thread that you started.

thop Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yeah i know, but why not allow to remove attachments from any time? Like for example you got some old work that you want to remove, or just for any reason want to remove sth. ... should we pester the mods with it? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thop Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 I reported the attachment three times, but nothing happens :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I reported the attachment three times, but nothing happens :no: The report button doesn't always seem to work. Your best bet is to PM an active Moderator and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2004 The report button works fine. It's just not a top priority to remove an attachment because it's "old" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 It's just not a top priority to remove an attachment because it's "old" In my mind, it's not even a consideration. Who cares if it's old? It's part of the history of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted August 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2004 Because attachments are a part of your post and you are eligible to modify your post within a limited time interval. If you need something removed, just PM one of us :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Guess a good thing to do is not attach but host it on something like SPYMAC's free 100 meg space and then simply link to it. When it gets old you can just remove the file from the hosted space and the link will no longer work. Sound about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and people always get annoyed when all those images don't work. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah, and people always get annoyed when all those images don't work. :rolleyes: Attachments need not be images, by the way. Attaching a file to a post is one thing. Uploading an image that stays on the Neowin Server is quite another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
