I
hate Internet Brands vBulletin 4's attachment system with a passion:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?328191-The-Attachment-System
My dear God... imagine confronting my novice forum users with such an overwhelming system (which completely seems out-of-line / stitched upon the rest of the forum system doesn't it?)... no thank you. I almost never ever had the need to re-use any of my attachments on vBulletin.com for instance. And I posted a lot over there. In those 2 instances that I
did need a previously uploaded attachment, I tried this new vB4 Attachment 'manager', but really.... how I am supposed to find my previous attachments back in a list of 56 pages?!! The only way to get some indication on attachments is to putting them in subfolders in the Attachment Manager and then you have the chance you can find something back. Although the chances are less then 1%, aren't they? I mean
come on... do I really need to create subfolders to be able to find my stuff back? How unbelievable user unfriendly is
that? Sure, this works on photographs on your local harddisk when you are managing photo's with your desktop OS, but surely a product like vBulletin is a whole different ball game.
Whoever came up with vB4's dreadful system... really. I hope XenForo ltd. actually
thinks before putting up it's customers with a system so puzzling as that one.
