Attachments In PM's

[PaulX]

Unless I am doing something very wrong, it looks like you can't add attachments in a Private Message.

I know you can add links, but that is a bit fiddly and I don'y have the energy at the moment.

 

Is this something that could be added or is that how the software and we just have to live with it?

Yes, I'm afraid attachments aren't allowed in PMs.

 

Adding a link shouldn't be fiddly as long as you add the "http://" bit at the front, as it's this that makes it clickable. Generally, if you copy a link from the address bar in a browser, it will copy it with the "http//:" bit.

[PaulX]

Ok, I see.

 

Yes, I've added links before, so I know how that works. I just wanted to be a bit lazy and attach a document directly, like you can when posting. Never mind, I will get around to it some time.

 

Thanks.

Paul,

 

Use Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive or one of the available cloud type services to upload the file and then provide the link to it.

 

[PaulX]

Yep, I know. That's what I end up having to do generally, I just wanted to be extra lazy today, since I'm not having a particularly great time.
