wpForo has a built-in spam control system. It controls newly registered users and allows to attach a file and attach link when the user has X number of approved posts. Please manage this setting in Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Antispam > New Registered user section.

I was testing out WPForo on my website and I noticed that only admin sees the option to attach a file in any forum post. Is there a setting that I have to change to enable it for everyone?

For example, I can see the Attach file button on this page as well but it does not appear for registered users as well as author on my website.

Thanks.
