Re: How To Prevent People From Uploading Pics To A Catagory?

[quote user="Paithan" post="18452"]It seems the top level category permissions take priority over the sub categories.  Is there a way I can do what I want to do with this?[/quote]
Yes, that it is exactly what happens.

It has been notified a couple of time so far, but I still haven't solved it.

When I have some free time I'll have a look... unless Artie (or someone else) would like to have a go before me. :wink:
