    Despite what my badges say, I do not have All Access right now.
    Never beta'd

    So looking at who has and who doesn't. It doesn't seem to be tied to the beta access users. Which honestly after reading all this I also thought it might have been. I made a new forum account which didn't have beta and it immediately had access to the option. But nothing in the system is tied to account date as far as I am aware.

    I just joined the forums for the first time with one of my other accounts - this one did not have access to the extra options either.
    How is the forum account tied to your underlying Everquest/All Access account?

    My current guess revolves around forum accounts that existed before these forums.

    The programmer in me is thinking, when the account get's dumped in, the other board didn't have a setting for upload and custom title, so a -1 instead of a 0 (for example) got put in that field. And then furthermore the html/xml for the personal settings interprets that errant value as 'don't show this field'.

    So a new account gets the proper 0 (in my example) put in the field, and html allows you to see it.

    I tend to agree. But it seems to be a bit mixed - so not all old accounts would be messed up. Could it be related to those accounts who were in the hands of ubisoft at some point? Or maybe just affected by the SOE credit card hack back in the days

    Yep, disappeared here too.

    Edit: Delete button is gone. I still have the Upload File button though.

    Also thinking...

    The badges were functionality that was tacked on later. It may have been built in to the forum software, but I think they had to do a bit of custom coding at the time to rig it up.

    Possible the badges being flags you turn on and off could be messing up those other settings?

    The delete button usually poofs after 30 mins.

    edit: but now, it never shows up in the first place.
    2nd. edit: my edit custom-titel field is also gone...

    hmm.. Looks like my upload file works.. which will be much easier than hosting on photobucket and linking..

    Oh and that's the Ely I have on Luclin in Black Dragon Legion.. ergo the last name difference.

    Which if the act of looking at it is changing it, I have concerns.
