New site & attaching files

[DFW]

I like the new site BTW.

I saw the option of uploading & attaching a file. I tried it but don't see anything. Is this really an option? Just wondering.

Thanks

In case it works, this is a little piece of Thalassa:

Cool. It worked for you. Must only accept a narrow range of file types.

 

[rust]

From experiences with other forums, I think that it will at least
accept .jpg and .png images and PDFs, up to a certain size.

Let's try a little PDF ...

Oops, PDF is not allowed. :shock:

What about .odt ?

.odt is also not allowed. :shock:

So, until now only .png.

OpenOffice docs don't work. Must only be image (jpeg, gif, etc.) files.

Thalassa's coat of arms, converted from .png to JPEG for the test ...
I wonder whether it will accept this one ...

 

[DFW]

Trying pdf converted to jpeg.

Nope. Says uploaded file is empty. :lol:

 

[rust]

Hmmm ... using the Snipping Tool to capture a page of text as
a .png picture, perhaps ?

 

[DFW]

Fixed!

Excellent, so text and pictures can be uploaded - really nice.

Well, pictures of text anyways. Though might take .txt.

Well, it is OO calc file converted to pdf then converted to jpg.

But, cool nonetheless!

No problem to test that ...

... and .txt is not allowed.

... and .rtf is not allowed.

So far, uppercase PNG and lowercase jpg.

 

[rust]

And .gif and .tif ...

DFW, I know you post alot of ship stat blocks, in future uploads noted here, would you mind putting up a statblock like in page one along with your links?

I plan on it. That's why I was testing the file attach feature of the board.
