Noticed you guys didn’t CHMOD the attachments dir (like for avatars) when the forum was upgraded last.

Yeah, SMF was recently compromised via the avatar uploads/file attachments, and we will not be re-enabling that feature just so the very active SMF script kiddie community can attempt to run rm -R *log* (or any of my other favorite Linux commands) on our server again...
