Instl.:
YaBB Gold 1 / SP 1.1
File Attachment Mod ( Respect to DaveB!!! )
attach_move_bugfix
File Attachment Clip Location

Prob.:
If I upload a file with "Special Characters" in the Filename (eg. Dan!shGold003.jpg or $horty.zip) the file will show in the topic as Deleted "Dan!shGold003.jpg (attachment deleted)" but real was the file full upload on the Server *without* Special Characters (DanshGold003.jpg)

hmmm...

Last version of FA does noet do validity checking on characters.
Characters like !@#$%^&*();:"'\/{}[]<> will not work in filenames and the attachment wil not be written.
Result is that the attachment will be marked as deleted by the script.
Perhaps Dave should make some char replacement routine in the next version to avoid this from happening.
  

Nothing to add here Smiley
