Just curious if pdf files can be attached to forum posts. I see the "attachments" icon in tool bar but it only allows for gif, jpeg and other similar files. I have a couple PDF files I would like to share this is why I ask.

Looks like they're working now...
Hmmm... I put the max PDF file size at 15,000,000 bytes but a 5.4MB PDF keeps failing to upload - though a smaller PDF did upload.
YMMV
Are you sure you didn't chop off a zero - 1,500,000? That would explain it.
It's showing up now for me
15,000,000 << copied from settings. pfew!
In the attachment it says the max PDF file size is 14.31MB. It won't allow me to upload a 4.04MB file I keep get a "Upload of the file failed" message
For now the realistic limit will be life. There's likely a different "max upload" limit that we're hitting. I'll submit a support ticket to see if we can get it discovered & adjusted.
`found it - we're at 2MB for max upload size. I can't adjust it - ticket to follow.
Max upload size increased. Give it another try.
Let me upload almost 8MB this time. Says the max is 8.58 so I think I'm pretty maxed out. Working better then last night.
I will caution this as to posting PDF's...
1) Public domain material only (some of the above PDF's might be an issue)
2) Material only where needed to be passed to another member / of help to another member
Why???
1) We don't wish to get sued
2) We are an open forum and we don't wish to be "the download repository" for "that PDF of interest to a wide audience" / we don't wish to get shut down for over quota bandwidth concerns with our host.
Aside from that - where appropriate - help others as is good.
Something like Dropbox would be good for sharing as well. Free and can be set up so files can be edited or just viewed by others.
