Attaching PDFs
I'm going to whack the hornet's nest by suggesting that we make PDF one of the allowed attachment filetypes. I just tried to make one and the forum didn't let me.

Linuxoids would probably want PS to become permissible as well.

Why do you want to attach pdf's?

Don't think I would ever use it, but IIRC it is an innocuous (and small files) filetype.

I can't ever recall wanting to post a PDF. I'm not saying it wouldn't ever come in handy but with a little effort you can get around it.

Request granted. Files with PDF extensions have been added to the list of filetypes that can be uploaded as attachments to threads.

Why not just zip it? You'd be getting requests for Flash movies next.

Don't.

I don't see the point of allowing such an attachment unless it is supposed to be rendered right in the browser. I do not want my browser to render PDF. Got problems with the plugin, and Acrobat 5.0 takes hours on end to load.

You can embed flash with html, though:



No need for attatchments.
