Notes
Who can use this: All members -- Free, Premium, and Site Staff -- are all able to post attachments to threads, as needed.
ISP requirements: In order to upload 99mb, the new max size allowed, you must have a 1.5mbit minimum upload speed from your ISP. The server has a 10-minute cutoff for attaching files.
Images: All JPEG/GIF/PNG images will be resized on upload, to 890 pixels max width (and/or 2000 max pixels tall), so you may need to stick photographs, DVD case artwork or DVD menu samples inside of archive files!
More formats: More file formats will be added, as needed. Feel free to suggest formats by replying to this thread, if you feel something is missing. However, the current list should cover most anything that needs to be uploaded on our forum.
Archive file warning: Note that all uploaded archive formats will be scrutinized by automatic server anti-malware software, which actively scans new uploads. Site Staff will also manually scrutinize archive uploads. Malicious/worthless files will be deleted, and the user banned. Don't waste your time or ours with crap/spam uploads. Junk will be removed almost immediately.
