Pictures not seen by guests

It appears that only members can see attached images. Of course they cannot tell here about it, so I do on behalf of my friends: is that on purpose or is it just a technical flaw?

You need to be logged in to see attached images. Guests are not logged in so cannot see them.

is it just a technical flaw
I wouldn’t call it a flaw. If they want to see the images, sign up and log in.

Is that a new thing? If I remember, attachments used to work for everybody without login.

Images are quite often the single most important thing of the whole post. There could be a warning in the attachment dialog, at least.

Probably forum specific. The Gallery forum images were still visible when I just logged out. It only applies to attached images and when you click on one you get the following message. Linked images were still visible. I’ve seen the same exact situation in other 3d forums so nothing special about it here.

To tell the truth, that annoyance was what motivated me to finally make an account here :slight_smile:

I haven’t regretted it yet :stuck_out_tongue:

Despite me being registered for different reasons - was looking for a technical help, my choice of this forum was that given freedom to see images without being registered user. And image tells… you know that. As a general forum policie - no login - no views - that’s common everywhere and blenderartists.org at that time just stood out of the crowd because of not doing that.
It does seem that it has changed somehow now which jumps at me as an old dusty book by James Fenimore Cooper -
‘Last of the Mohicans’.
Anyhow - many thanks to and best regards to Jonathan Williamson and all other people behind this project scenes.
