Full Version: Disabling an attachment extension type

Hello team,

I went ahead and disabled ZIP extension to be attached in posts, per instructions in  Home » Attachment Types.

I was under the impression that disabling this file extension meant just to prevent registered uses from attaching that specific file extension to posts, per the instructions given:

Quote:Here you can create and manage attachment types which define which types of files users can attach to posts.

I've been doing some testing with my forum and I had attached some ZIP files already in my posts. When I disabled the ZIP extension, I was no longer able to download the attachment from the post. I don't think that's working as designed. The forum should still let me download existing ZIP files.

In my forum, I went ahead and disabled JPG as well for testing purposes. If you go to the forum you'll see what i mean.

The jpg thumbnail is gone.

Again, I don't think this is working as intended, and if it is, then it was not properly documented.
it is working as intended. may not be well documented ..
It needs better description, what do you think? Any proposal @.m?
