Hello, for some reason suddenly I am unable to upload any files in a new topic. I also edited existing topics that I had uploaded attachment previously, and although the attachments are there, the tab is not showing.

The entire attachments tab no longer shows up when creating a new topic, I only get these two tabs under the topic field:


OPTIONS | POLLS |

I also made a backup administrator user, and logged in as the backup administrator and still have the same problem. Is this one of the incidents when I should use FAP? It doesn't seem like the administrators accounts are downgraded, though.


My forum link is:

http://privateventures.forumer.com

I have searched the knowledge base and the forum topics in this section, General, but found nothing that I hadn't already tried. Below this section is the details of all the admin settings I could find relating to attachments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

It has been a few months since I requested assistance with this problem, I think, and i have not received any feedback. I am assuming therefore, that this problem cannot be fixed, and I should make alternate arrangements to host forum elsehwere or use a different forum script? Please confirm. Thank you.
