Insert files other than images into posts
« on: October 20, 2015, 07:42:58 PM »
I wish there were a way in which I could attach files (pdf, xl, doc etc) to bulletin board posts.

There's an "Attachments and other options" link, but I can't find how to attach.

The problem is you need to put the files you want to share on the web, somewhere, then post links to them.

I use dropbox for a lot of large file transfers.  2GB storage is free

So you could post a link to a folder of files like this:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qjyrwef1jev2q9q/AACR5VoT9fChgLww8_KGeS_ua?dl=0

Or to a single file like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7ttstl1za02p0u/Fire%20in%20the%20Sky.doc?dl=0

There are forums which allow attachments.  There are some which do not.
