Something did change, we went from a free, outdated, and poorly supported forum software that had several existential issues, to the latest version of one of the best forum softwares on the market. Policy wise, the only change is that that non-paid members now have more access than they did before. You are entitled to your opinion, and you are free to leave. We will not being going back to the old software.

This is not a change in policy. On the old site non-paid members were not able to see ANY attachment (videos, images, etc.) uploaded directly to the site. Now you are able to see image attachments as a non-paid member. It is and always has been completely up to the up-loader where they choose to upload their images.
I think people are still trying to adjust to the new layout. Again this is nothing new, and actually you are getting more for "free" now because you can view image attachments, which you couldn't do before.
This is not a new feature. It was like this on the old forum... You can still download attachments from third party hosts. The video file that you see above is being hosted by CamCaps.
I believe this issue has been fixed. The issue only appeared when you logged in, so people would have been able to see it when they first visited the site prior to logging in.
I have made the "old" site avaliable here: http://oldcc.info/index.php
If there is anything that was not converted over to this site feel free to save a copy. The site will remain available until the end of the month. No one should be posting to the old site, it's up for reference and backup purposes only.
Nothing is permanently lost. I will re-enable the old site so that you can find what you're looking for. This is all part of the process and why I didn't perform the upgrade on the old server. And unfortunately there was no good way for me to verify that every last image transfered correctly. This upgrade was not optional, it was really a do or die kinda thing.
