sweet, thanks

Thanks Josh

Thanks this will help me with another restriction issue.

Will users in the moderator group still be able to download attachments?

No but that could easily be tweaked by changing this:

if ((!strstr($user['U_Groups'],"-5-")) && ($user['U_Status'] != "Administrator")) {


To this:

if ((!strstr($user['U_Groups'],"-5-")) && ($user['U_Status'] != "Administrator") && ($user['U_Status'] != "Moderator")) {

That should do it.

Groovy. Thanks!

Anyway to restrict who UPLOADS?
