VarsityPuppet Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Is there any way the downloads section could be modified, so as to allow individuals to download files without being an actual member of this site? I'm wondering because I want to post my mod releases at Holowan Labs too, but I'm not too keen on uploading files multiple times - that and this has the best upload system. Quote
Doctor Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I have no problem with that. I'll have it done in an hour or so. Quote
Doctor Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Guests should now be able to download files although they are limited to 2 files per day and a max of 100MB bandwidth per week. I say should to allow for the usual cock ups I make when adding/editing features. Quote
Jaesun Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I just had to create an account just to let you know unregistered guests are not able to d/l. Using both Chrome and Firefox 3.x You just get the you are over your bandwidth error message. Quote
Hassat Hunter Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Jaesun, familiar name from the Obsidian Boards and Off Topic Productions boards xD. Hi! *bothers Doctor about his cock up* Quote

I mean, most people will just probably download mods, and never use the forum. Plus with the new pruning system, we'd just be getting rid of their accounts anyways. Quote
Doctor Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Unfortunately due to constant spam from unregistered users, the download section has now be disabled for guests. Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 You can't just disable comments from unregistered people? Quote
Doctor Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I can't find an option for it anywhere, it's not just the spam they're also reporting files and comments for no reason whatsoever. I'll keep looking and if I can find a way to stop them from leaving comments and reporting the files then of course I'll open it up again but for now at least it will be disabled. Quote

Suggestion: I could be that way to stop them. Just give the word. I shall be kind and give them a 5 minuet head start while my blasters warm up. 1 Quote
Doctor Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Good news - I've found a way to stop guests from posting comments so they can now download files again. Quote
