How do we get permission to add attachments?

Thanks!

Martin....I don't know!

Ask Dutch or one of the Admins.

Martin, In the reply box (editor window) there should be a paperclip icon (attachment) on the toolbar right next to the insert image icon. Let me know if you don't have it and I'll try and find out why.

It's there (paper clip symbol), the problem is I get a message that says I don't have permission to attach attachments.
I'm using the BBCode editor.
I wanted to share some spreadsheets.

I've had the same problem Martin!  Even in the PM section.

OK I'll ask Brian what's going on.

I saw it the other day (the paperclip icon) and was going to attach a pdf to a post.  Does not work for me either.  Figured you had to be a moderator or some mid level.  It may not be enabled in the BBS shell?

We have it disabled. I forget the reason for it but if I remember correctly people were abusing the feature and it was turned off a few years ago. Ill ask Jeff if he has a problem with turning it back on. I don't think he will but ill check.

Brian,

Just a FYI,  I hit a snag with an attachment today.  I had uploaded a excel file in this thread earlier in the day and went to upload a 2nd file (a revision) in a later reply.  I kept getting error messages and was unable to upload the 2nd file.  The file name was different and both files were fairly small excel files around 1.5m in size.

Just wanted you to know about it so you can take a look at the error logs for the site and see what's up. Hope I didn't break SMF

Here is the thread:

And a follow up....

Don't know if anyone did anything on the server side, but I was able to upload the version 2.0 of the file with no problems a few minutes ago.  Did not change anything and did exactly what I was doing at 1:30AM, but it worked this time.

Perhaps the host provider was archiving the server earlier or who knows, but it worked this morning.

Thanks
