Is there a reason why .rar files are not accepted for upload?
Zip files, made with the same program, seem to be OK.

There's a file type limit within the forum software and rar files weren't added by default - but I'll add it now for you

It should be working in a few mins.

Why do you think that?
If I .rar a file, and it is needed, as often, in zip format, I just change the handle without any preliminaries..Wheres the difference?

Thanks Ian.


Fwiw."Depends on who's making the request... I'm still waiting for that hentai forum. "
I have no particular affiliation with Ian, to me he is just a cyber name. I really don't think there is any favouritism being exoressed, it is the nature of the request. I am sure Ian will get around to it. (whatever it is!)

I'm glad to see RAR files finally accepted here.

A request I would like to make would be to allow a larger file upload, say up to 10MB.

Also it would be a good idea to make some of the more informative threads become stickys since they're accessed a lot.

Just my two cents.

It's just my sense of humour, Davehc. It can be kind of obscure at times.

I personally prefer .rar to .zip, myself.

I'm not too keen on RAR but definitely do not see anything wrong with them. RAR is just not what I store my things in. One request though is for passworded RAR's not to be allowed.
