Could this be a permissions issue of some sort or a setting on the forum or the group? I do see the fields if FF/Mac, so I think this is a configuration issue.

I can't reproduce the problem. Works fine for me on Mac FF 3.5, Safari 4.0.4, and Chrome. I can see and use both existing file attachments and the Attach Files dialog under new posts. Since it's rendered on the server there shouldn't be a difference between browsers.

I just read Lucas's post and I had the same thought. There are a few places in this plugin where it checks for user permissions. I thought I had it working right, but for now I have commented out the permission check, so that anyone who can read the forum can download items, and anyone who can see the input box can see the Attach File box. I guess that's how it should work anyway - my commenting has essentially moved permission out of the plugin and into Buddypress, where it belongs anyway.

BTW, the forum post in the screenshot doesn't have attachments in any browser, just a link. The other thread in the group forums does have an attachment, though.

Also, I just tested a non-admin user account and I'm able to see everything.

Please ask George to try again.

Hi Guys,

Apparently, the problem continues. Here's George's report:

I'm in a meeting so this is hard, but I even ran out and tried someone's
Dell/IE. I see the button to "post reply" but not means of doing an
attachment, even there.

But this (the attached) is from Firefox on my Mac -- closed, cleaned,
reopened, reloaded.

George had the same results on FF/Safari when logged in as teststudent. Screenshots attached.

George can now see the upload buttons. Fantastic work on this, guys. Many thanks for your quick attention to this.
