I have made the file size for file attachments 5MB so you can now attach MP3s or any other files under that size to a posting. NOTE: It only supports the following files types .gif,.jpg,.txt,.zip,.png,.mp3

OK just worked out how to do this. Just note though you have a limit of 2 files per posting. You click on the File Manager link at the bottom of the reply form, then Browse to the file on your computer and click Add File. It will then take a little while to upload. There is a progress bar while it uploads and then finally the file name will appear at the top of the dialog box. Then click on "Done Adding Files" and that is it. This means you no longer have to find a free file host to put your files you want here on the forum.

Wow, that's great Nigel. This is a nice addition to the forum.
Thanks

Super cool, Nigel!!

The other advantage is that unlike free file hosting services the files won't expire here and will remain indefinately.

I find this not only a nice (thanks Nigel ), but a very important added feature as well, because for the first time, our uploaded pics, along with its associated posting, will be archived & preserved together in the Synthzone database.

Up until now, all pic links included in a Synthzone thread posting, of which was subsequently removed from the original hosting server, no longer appears when viewed on Synthzone.

very kool

I know some people questioned updating the forum software. And I myself had shyed away from it for many many years worried that we may lose something from our past. Now I think everyone can see it has been a major improvement in all areas. Plus by staying with a UBB product nothing at all was lost in the transition.

Uploading files is one of the many great features avaialble on the new Forum

I, for one, have already used the file share to upload a few Technic Style files, and found many members, particularly the not so computer savvy, prefer this new downloading method.

Many were confused by 4share, yousendit, etc. so this is a blessing to many.

Thanks for the new forum...I LOVE IT!

... Nigel ... you continue to spoil us ... thank you ...
