Hi RM,

Welcome to the forums!!!

We were having trouble with spam bots using attachment downloads as a way to create a "Denial of Service" attack on the site a while ago. Our setting stopped any user who had less than one (1) post from viewing/downloading attachments. The bots were never posting a message, so we used this setting to stop them from crashing the server.

We've changed the way that this is being handled now and I've reset the system to allow attachment views for new members.

Please check some attachment posts now and let me know if you're still having trouble.

Alex
