    Hi Guys,

    I've seen a few new users comment that when buying a coin pack, they are also being charged 10 coins per download. As a community we have always assumed it was an attachment (doc/pdf) they were being charged for..

    Anyway, I just grabbed Elite and War Thunder plugins, and was indeed charged 10 coins each.

    Note: I do not want the coins back, just wanted to make admins aware.

    @insanegr can you check if the edit button is back now?

    @Archie being charged with 10 coins for downloading a plugin is intended behavior or better said, can not be disabled due to technical reasons and limitations of the forum software.
    However if you are already granted for the plugin download section you are able to download plugins, even when you do not have any coins left.

    @RaceRay - Thanks. Like I said not an issue from me at all, I like the coin system. I just noticed a few times we (collective) have dismissed new users who pay with coins who then comment that a download costs them 10 coins more.

    Thanks for clearing that up mate.
