TOPIC: File Attachment Doesn't Work

File Attachment Doesn't Work 2 Years ago  
I tried to attach a file to one of my posts using "Select file to attach", but it appears that the file attachment feature doesn't work. I entered the path to the file using the "Browse" button, and then clicked the "[file]" button, but no file was attached to the post.

Hi-

I believe the issue here is that forum postings are limited to a few types of files: txt, doc, pdf. Anything else is blocked (we specifically don't allow image uploads). Now, it's not helping that the UI here is still making it look like I can upload images, so that's probably the real problem.

I'm attaching a simple .txt file to this post to confirm that it works....

Also, the file doesn't actually appear until you submit the posting.

I had tried to attach a JPG file to my post. As per your response, I now know it didn't work because JPG files are not supported.

OK. I'll investigate the possibility of having the file attachment controls match the back-end settings; i.e., if images are not allowed then the user shouldn't see the "attach an image" button.
