at the bottom of every page it says "Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group".
used to say the version of phpBB, didn't it? doesn't now.

Yup. This was a change made in recent phpBB versions. I guess with all the security holes being found so often, they figured advertising the version wasn't a good idea. This is all just conjecture, btw.

OK i have a question about the file attachment feature added in the recent upgrade.

take a look at this post made by Ian in the beer garden:
http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 535#137535
he attached 2 pictures (.jpg) - the usage of the feature that is likely to be the most frequent.
but when i replied and quoted his post, in the quote the picture doesn't appear.
OK so it's not like a 'img' bbcode tag where the picture is quoted. so i said to myself i'll do it manually.
the problem is that the URL of the attachment has the following format:
http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/download.php?id=3
and the 'img' tag doesn't accept this for displaying - what i get is
Image
and no picture.

this is too bad - pictures attached with the new file attachment feature can't be re-displayed ??

Socheat, is there a way to fix this?

related - the img tag doesn't work with URLs of images from the database, like those use in reviews, for instance:
Image

i'd thought you had already fixed this once before? did it get re-broken in the recent upgrade?
or is my memory failing me and it has never worked?

I think the way phpBB works now is that it requires a compatible file extention when linkig to an image.
