Yes, that's what i mean :p. I don't think vbulletin has the option to make it save directly to a selected directory. However, you could try and see if there's a hack around that does this for you.

I'm pretty sure it does. Should be in the vBulletin Options.

Yes, if you run your forum on debug mode to see the setting, it's there ;)

Admincp >> Version Info and Other Untouchables >> Save Attachments as Files

Keep in mind:

Before RC1, we stored attachments for each user in a sub folder named after that user's userid. This resulted in us having X folders for X users with attachments. Some systems couldn't cope when this number exceeded 32,768 so we altered this method for RC1. Now each digit of the userid is made into a directory, i.e. userid 568 gets her attachments stored in /path/5/6/8. To use the new setting you must move all of your attachments back into the DB and then move them back out to the FS. This is the only way to 'activate' the new option.

you can do so, but you have to put your board in debug mode and then edit this:
admincp->vBulletin Options->vBulletin Options->Version Info and Other Untouchables->Save Attachments as Files

edit: just beated to it :p

You can use LiveWires hack for the debug mode btw.

That actually fixed the problem with the file size limits. I owe you all a big thanks.
