Limit to attachments

[ChrisGreaves]

Please and thank you: am I correct in thinking that I can attach only images (PNG, JPG, etc.) but:-
not text files
not DOC files
not ZIP files
etc.?
Thanks, Chris

When attaching image files, make sure they are web compressed to as small a filesize as possible to reduce forum bandwidth overhead.

You can attach zip files for everything else just fine, especially for text/log files and specimen file formats, etc.

Thanks Raccoon. I've tried ZIP twice at least and each time got knocked back.
I'll try again and then report back here
Thanks, Chris

What happens?

The attachment size limit should be 128MB.

Please attach txt/doc as a compressed zip.

Try attaching a specimen zip file that somebody else created. I'll create one and attach it here, you save it and try attaching it to your post.

Zip created by 7-Zip.

Zip2 is a copy of the downloaded zip

And 20230213_0516.zip contains two small documents.

Thank you, raccoon.
I feel embarrassed {as usual}.
I did not take notes of previous failures, because I was juggling other issues at the time.
If it happens again (rejection) I will keep notes and report back here.
Thanks,
Chris
(LATER) I went back and edited UserTutorial to use attachment rather than download links to my web site.
I suspect that my previous failures might have been because I abandoned the upload by switching the window to "Preview" before the upload (growing green line) was complete.
That might explain the lack of a rejection message!
