They can't. Their account is awaiting moderation. In other words. Aaron has to approve their accounts.

Welcome Mohamed,

It is not a "problem", it is a choice to not allow anyone free access. There are very good arguments against unristricted access. Downside is it creates a task for a human to screen and activate the accounts.

As to the of guests not able to view attachments (it is not a JPG issue, it applies to all types of files allowed uploaded to EF using the internal upload function);
to allow guests to view images and such, regardless of the settings of this forum software, don't use the internal upload function which is limited anyway. Link to an external source and embed them in your posts if desired. Or better use both. if one source dies, there is the internal for backup.

If Aaron is reading this; it might be an option to consider allowing guest the privilege to download attachements, it is just clicking a switch in the usergroup admin screen. Changing the setting might increase the bandwidth bill though...

Hi, since you can post these messages, your account is already approved. I even double checked to make sure there wasn't a glitch and it is definitely approved without restrictions.

Can you post a link to a post with a small attachment you're talking about?

Thanks.
