Forum Uploads / Attachments Allowed!

Post by johloh »

ok attachments of images is now allowed when posting...

when you go to post youll see the "Upload Attachment" section below your normal posting area. I'll write a tutorial if anyone needs it, buts its straightforward...just like sending an email attachment.

Id actually prefer people use this than site like photobucket, because that way we will never have dead images on old posts as files get moved or removed.

normally the max file size is set pretty low, but since this was put in because people were having trouble hosting LARGE images, Ive set the upload max to 20mb. that should be big enough eh? try not to abuse this and upload huge files as that will slow load times on your posts, but do use it for your jumbo patterns...

let me know how it works or if its broken at all!!

I've tried it, and it doesn't seem to be working for me, can someone else verify this for me on the pattern I've tried to upload? Also johloh, are you able to add what file extensions are allowed? The forum wouldn't let me upload a bitmap, and it might be useful to add the PC Stitch and KG Chart file extensions as well, if you are able. (KG Chart file extension is .sth, don't know about PC Stitch.)

It always does look so messy when looking in old forum posts and seeing a bunch of deleted images, so I'm glad to see that this forum will not go that way.
Though I always wonder why people bother deleting stuff from their image-hosting website...

Do you think you could add the file types for text files? . doc and .rtf, plus any other ones you think might be useful.

Could you also add .cse? I tried uploading a file from the PM Stitch creator and it said it was invalid.

Thanks!

Also, stupid question: I was trying to use one of the patterns someone else uploaded but I couldn't figure out how to download the attached file. Do I just print it out? Do I right click and save?
