I'm trying to post with a 52k .pdf file attachment, but it errors out and says 'the upload folder is full, try a smaller file or contact an administrator'.
I tried to pm the administrator but don't know if it got through, or at least I haven't received a reply yet.
The help on attachments says the file can be up to 128k size.
Are .pdf files not allowed; if that's not it, anyone know what the problem might be ?

Thanks,
Arky

There is actually no storage space here for the folders, Arky.

Seems there are a few file storing programs on line - I don't remember where though. Might be another way to do it.  John has some but in a different part of the net I don't have access to --- He's the real admin -- I'm just a lowly public servant. d*

Attachment of files to forum postings is disabled. The system gives you that full message, so that can be confusing.

For files like images you can use a photo host service like Photobucket. PDF files are another matter. Can you post a link to the PDF file? That usually works if the PDF file is available for public download from some web site.

Hope this helps.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.
